Tony Gonzales says he’ll ‘file my retirement,’ following Swalwell announcing resignation from House

Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) announced Monday that he will file his retirement from the House when it returns to session Tuesday, following an announcement by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) earlier that day that he would resign from Congress. Both lawmakers faced mounting pressure to resign or face expulsion over sexual misconduct allegations; Gonzales previously admitted to an affair with a staffer while Swalwell faced sexual assault allegations. The Hill's reporting is bylined and sourced, matching corroborating coverage from the New York Times, NBC News, Politico, and the Texas Tribune, which confirm the timeline and allegations. Watch for the House's anticipated expulsion vote procedures this week, which may now be moot given both resignations, and any remaining ethics investigations or fallout from these departures.
