US EditionHouse Republican plans motion to oust Swalwell from Congress amid sexual assault allegations
Luna says the House should expel Swalwell as Democrats prepare a counterpush against Tony Gonzales, who is under House Ethics investigation.
- Next week, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna will force a House vote to expel Rep. Eric Swalwell following multiple sexual assault allegations against the Democratic congressman.
- The San Francisco Chronicle and CNN reported Friday that four women, including a former staffer, accused Swalwell of various acts of misconduct in incidents dating back to 2019.
- Denying the allegations Saturday as "flat false," Swalwell faces pressure from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Jimmy Gomez to drop his gubernatorial campaign immediately.
- In retaliation, Democrats intend to move to expel Rep. Tony Gonzales , who is under House Ethics investigation for sexual misconduct and admitted to an affair with a staffer.
- Expulsion requires a two-thirds majority and is rare without a criminal conviction or completed House Ethics Committee process, presenting major procedural obstacles for the upcoming floor vote.
