US EditionDemocrats Join Calls to Expel Eric Swalwell From Congress over Misconduct Claims
Lawmakers from both parties backed the rare expulsion moves as at least four women accused Swalwell of misconduct and Gonzales faced staffer allegations.
- On Sunday, bipartisan support grew for expulsion motions against Rep. Eric Swalwell and Rep. Tony Gonzales following separate misconduct allegations that upended Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign.
- Following reports of misconduct, Swalwell faces sexual assault allegations from multiple women, while Gonzales admitted to an affair with a staffer who exchanged explicit text messages with him.
- Republican Rep. Byron Donalds said both lawmakers 'need to go home,' while Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal stated she would vote to expel. More than 50 former Swalwell staffers signed a letter describing allegations as 'serious' and 'credible.'
- Expelling a member requires a two-thirds majority, a difficult threshold to meet. On Saturday, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office announced it is investigating an allegation of sexual assault against Swalwell.
- Some lawmakers advocate for a 'full house cleaning' that could include Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who faces corruption allegations. If successful, such a package would net Republicans a one-seat advantage.
