Eric Swalwell Resigns From Congress

Trending Politics News

April 13, 2026



U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) announced Monday that he will be resigning from Congress. The announcement comes less than 24 hours after he suspended his California gubernatorial campaign over multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, including sexual assault.

In his announcement, Swalwell acknowledged ongoing efforts to expel him from Congress, which picked up steam throughout the day.

“I am aware of efforts to bring an immediate expulsion vote against me and other members. Expelling anyone in Congress without due process, within days of an allegation being made, is wrong. But it’s also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties. Therefore, I plan to resign my seat in Congress,” the congressman announced in a written statement.

In follow-up remarks, he denied the allegations against him while also issuing an apology. “I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past,” he said, adding his plans to “fight the serious, false allegation made against me.”

“However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make,” the statement continued. Swalwell further stated that he will be coordinating with his staff and constituents to ensure a clean exit in the coming days.

I wonder who is coughing up the compensation, how much, and for how long that made it possible for them to leave?  Plus, they'll probably be able to get jobs at CNN, SeeBS, Politico, or some other honest news source as "analysts." :smokin:

I'm starting to hope, a little, that there may be a sea view room for him in the Marin County GreyBar Hotel. Apparently there's a sex video of him, and a/the woman in it was, at the time, "San Quentin Quail".

Fishrrman's "realpolitik advice" to the Republicans:

Accept Mr. Gonzales "retirement", but ask him to remain around until that swalwell guy is physically gone and properly "resigned".

Our majority in the House is tenuous now.
Don't make it SMALLER.

He may be a bad guy, but he's OUR bad guy and we need his vote for the time being.

 Eric Swalwell sent X-rated videos, pervy messages while married — as he admits affairs
By Annie Gaus
Published May 4, 2026, 3:16 p.m. ET

Pervy ex-congressman Eric Swalwell sent nude photos and videos of himself masturbating through Snapchat and regularly slid into the DMs of random women — all while he was married — as lurid details of his alleged creepy conduct continue to spill out.

Swalwell, who was once crowned the “Snapchat King of Congress,” shared unsolicited nudes with several woman as a married East Bay congressman and held meetings at a chain restaurant known for scantily clad waitresses — leading ex-colleagues to brand him a “Jekyll and Hyde” figure who harassed women privately while crusading for equal rights in public.

Swalwell’s attempted sexual conquests included a 19-year-old waitress in Los Angeles who was “stunned” to receive a LinkedIn message from the powerful Democratic lawmaker after interacting with him only briefly at an event, according to CNN.

Another young congressional staffer said Swalwell sent her “flirty” messages on Snapchat starting in 2021, after she had left Capitol Hill.

The two had sex in hotels over the years and he subsequently sent her “nude photos of himself and videos of him masturbating” that the woman later showed to CNN.
