House moves toward expulsions as Swalwell and Gonzales face misconduct probes

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.

BYU cuts ties with star receiver as rape arrest unfolds

BYU expelled Parker Kingston, the Cougars’ top receiver in 2025, days after his arrest on a felony rape charge.

A virtual hearing is scheduled for Feb. 25, with a preliminary in-person hearing set for April 13 in St. George.

Nebraska lawmaker resigns as expulsion vote looms over staffer allegations

State Sen. Dan McKeon resigned minutes before a floor vote on his expulsion over allegations of inappropriately touching a legislative staffer; an outside investigation said the conduct may violate the Legislature’s harassment policy but was not actionable sexual harassment, and McKeon faces misdemeanor charges (disturbing the peace) with a Jan. 26 court date, while Gov. Pillen will appoint his replacement.
