Democrat Representative Eric Swalwell has announced that he is officially dropping out of the race for California governor. This comes amid a growing number of sexual assault and misconduct allegations against the congressman.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified stunning files that prove the nexus of Donald Trump’s impeachment scam in 2019 came from a self-confessed leftist and liar. Until now, the public had no access to these files. The so-called “whistleblower,” who worked for Joe Biden, apologized for accusing Trump and misleading the probe involving a call with Ukraine. “I do not have direct knowledge of private comments or communications by the President.” The apology was kept secret while the Democrat Impeachment continued. HOLY SMOKES. DNI Tulsi Gabbard just declassified bombshell files that prove the nexus of Donald Trump’s impeachment scam in 2019 came from an ADMITTED leftist and liar These files were HIDDEN from the public until now.

The calls for degenerate Eric Swalwell to reisgn from Congress are growing. Rep. Marlin Stutzman is now on board. He says Eric Swalwell exiting the governor’s race is an “admission,” arguing an apology doesn’t fix credibility and calling for higher standards across Congress, regardless of party. The effort in the House is led by Florida GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna—and it may lead to more. Rep. Luna said, “On Friday, I had my staff initiate the process and file or set the process to file motions for expulsions for multiple members of Congress, both Democrat and Republican. And I think even though Democrats and Republicans might have ideological differences, I think we should be able to all agree on the basics: that maybe if you’re, I don’t know, sexually harassing or assaulting or have issues of domestic violence or you’re stealing funds from FEMA, maybe you should not be in Congress. “This is way overdue. I think that this is just the bare minimum that we can deliver for the American people is not tolerate public corruption in the House of Representatives. This is not rocket science; this is basic 101. “Most people go to jail over this, so it’s time for these people to go. So yes, I’ll be voting to expel members of Congress, and I hope my colleagues join me. We need two-thirds of the vote.” pic.twitter.com/EZcQbNEczi — Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) April 11, 2026 The scandal surrounding Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) is rapidly ballooning and could jolt a surge of expulsion votes for at least three of his House colleagues as soon as the chamber returns from recess next week. Democrats plan to counter with a vote to expel Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas), as Axios first reported. If those votes succeed—which may be a long shot, given that expulsion requires a two-thirds majority in the House—votes to expel Reps. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) and Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) could follow, sources said. The post Calls for Swalwell to Resign from the House appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Upwards of four lawmakers are being asked to resign or risk expulsion from the House of Representatives — including Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), who’s facing multiple sexual misconduct allegations and a House Ethics Committee probe, among other investigations. In addition, Reps. Tony Gonzales (R-TX), Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL), and Cory Mills (R-FL) are facing scrutiny over various controversies of their own. “Congress should not tolerate representatives who abuse staff, betray public trust for personal gain, and generally violate their oath of office,” Rep. Nydia Velázquez (D-NY) posted to X on Monday morning. “Reps. Swalwell, Gonzales, Cherfilus-McCormick, and Mills should resign. If they refuse, they should be expelled. Americans deserve better and Congress must hold our members accountable.” Swalwell and Gonzales seem to be facing the most calls for expulsion, however, with Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) posting over the weekend that she’s exploring the possibility. Expulsion requires a two-thirds vote in the chamber in order to be successful, and only six individuals have been removed in history. “I will be inquiring in the morning with the house parliamentarian to see if I can pair my motion to expel Eric Swalwell with Rep Tony Gonzalez. Both NEED to go,” the Florida Republican wrote on Sunday. On Sunday night, she doubled down after Swalwell said that he was suspending his campaign to become California’s next governor, but stopped short of announcing his resignation from Congress. “You broke House rules and are a predator. You have 24 hours to announce you are resigning. Both you and Tony are a disgrace,” Luna replied. Multiple women have alleged sexual misconduct against Swalwell, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is now looking into the allegations, as one reported assault occurred in New York City, according to NBC New York. As for the ethics probe, the committee said in a statement on Monday afternoon that they will be examining whether he “violated the Code of Official Conduct or any law, rule, regulation, or other applicable standard of conduct in the performance of his duties or the discharge of his responsibilities, with respect to allegations that he may have engaged in sexual misconduct, including towards an employee working under his supervision.” There seems to be a degree of bipartisan traction for the removals of both Swalwell and Gonzales, who had an affair with a staffer who later committed suicide. “And Congressman Gonzales. I would,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) told “Meet the Press” on Sunday when asked if she would vote to remove Swalwell. “I’ve already said that I think that these things, these charges and allegations and the pattern of abuse and in Congressman Gonzales’ case he actually admitted to the affair with the- or to the, you know, harassment with his staffer. This is also important for staffers across the Capitol to see that their bosses don’t get to do this to them,” she added. However, not everybody is convinced that expulsion is the best route, especially for Gonzales and Mills. “Democrats are attempting to lump together Gonzales and Mills in their censure push because their own member, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, is almost certain to face expulsion in the coming weeks,” a GOP aide granted anonymity in order to speak freely told The Daily Wire in a statement. “They are content throwing Swalwell to the wolves if it means they can drag Republicans through the mud with him.” Speaker Mike Johnson has previously cautioned against expulsion as an action taken against members, including when former Rep. George Santos (R-NY) was expelled in 2023 prior to his fraud conviction. Santos’ sentence was later commuted by President Donald Trump. “Yeah, we couldn’t block it. It was a privileged resolution, which means it gets to come to the floor within two days of filing. And it was a regrettable day,” Johnson said at the time. “You know, prior to yesterday, only five people had ever been expelled from Congress. Three were Confederates, two were convicted of federal charges. And George Santos has not been convicted in a court. You know, our party believes in the rule of law and due process, and we’re deeply concerned about preserving those things. And, you know, maybe he will be convicted by a jury of his peers, but that hasn’t happened yet. And that’s why we had reservations about it.” Mills is currently under a House Ethics Committee investigation for a range of allegations from “sexual misconduct and/or dating violence” to allegedly not following “campaign finance laws and regulations in connection with his 2022 and 2024 election campaigns.” Meanwhile, Cherfilus-McCormick is facing criminal charges for allegedly stealing $5 million in FEMA funds for her congressional campaign, and she was recently found guilty on allegations made at the House Ethics Committee level, Axios reported last month. The chamber currently holds a narrow 217-214 Republican majority, which will expand to 218-214 once Republican Clay Fuller (R-GA) is sworn in.

Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington confirmed that House Democrats are actively pursuing the use of the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office, despite acknowledging the move faces insurmountable obstacles and would require Vice President JD Vance’s cooperation. The Constitutional Framework The 25th Amendment allows for presidential removal when the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet determine the president is mentally unfit to discharge his duties. During a Sunday appearance on MS Now, Jayapal declared her support for invoking this provision. She stated Democrats should pursue every available option, including impeachment, the 25th Amendment, or pushing for resignation. The process requires the vice president’s initiation, followed by Cabinet majority approval, making it dependent on officials appointed by Trump himself. If the president contests a Cabinet declaration of unfitness, Congress must decide the outcome. A two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate is required to finalize removal. Representative Jamie Raskin introduced legislation during the previous session that would create an alternative body to assess presidential fitness, replacing the Cabinet’s role. However, even under Raskin’s proposed framework, the vice president must still concur with any unfitness declaration. Political Realities and Opposition Jayapal acknowledged that Vice President Vance would not support such an effort, undermining the entire strategy from the start. Raskin recently led a caucus meeting with House Democratic leadership to explore additional removal mechanisms. Democrats understand that establishing precedent for removing presidents through alternative processes could easily be used against future Democratic administrations. Former President Joe Biden would have presented a more viable target for mental fitness questions under such a framework. What This Means The proposal faces significant constitutional and political hurdles. Even if Democrats regain House control, passing legislation that creates new presidential removal mechanisms would require broad bipartisan support. The effort appears to reflect Democratic frustration rather than viable strategy. Political analysts note that pursuing constitutionally questionable removal tactics could backfire, energizing Republican voters and creating dangerous precedents that weaken executive authority regardless of party. The push signals that impeachment efforts would likely resume immediately should Democrats reclaim the House majority in future elections.
