TL;DR Summary

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna plans a House vote to expel Rep. Eric Swalwell over sexual misconduct allegations, while Democrats plan to move to expel Rep. Tony Gonzales, who is under House Ethics scrutiny for similar claims. Swalwell denies the allegations; Gonzales acknowledged an affair with a staffer who later died by suicide. Expulsion requires a two-thirds vote, a high bar that has made such actions rare, but could trigger a ripple effect toward other members if successful.
