Bipartisan Push to Expel Swalwell Over Misconduct Allegations
Several lawmakers from both parties say they would back a motion to expel Rep. Eric Swalwell amid allegations of sexual assault by a former staffer and other misconduct, with a vote potentially paired to Rep. Tony Gonzales’s case. Swalwell denies the charges as politically motivated, while Democrats such as Jayapal, Leger Fernández, and Huffman urge accountability. Expulsion requires a two-thirds majority, making this a high-stakes test for Congress as Swalwell also contends with a California gubernatorial bid and related investigations and fallout.
