Two US Lawmakers Resign Over Separate Misconduct Scandals

Republican Tony Gonzales and Democrat Eric Swalwell have both announced resignations from Congress within hours of each other, each facing misconduct allegations. Gonzales admitted an affair with a staffer who later died by suicide and was on the verge of expulsion; Swalwell faces accusations from four women ranging from sexual harassment to rape, which he denies. The twin departures are a rare moment of bipartisan disgrace on Capitol Hill.
