Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) on Saturday said she will file a motion to expel Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) from Congress after former staffers accused him of sexual assault. “I am filing a motion to expel Eric Swalwell from Congress,” Luna announced. I am filing a motion to expel Eric Swalwell from Congress. — Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) April 11, 2026 “I am extending a call to any Swalwell victims to contact my office with information. All victims deserve to be heard. I will be bringing a vote to expel Rep. Swalwell from Congress next week, will Democrats vote to protect this corruption?” Luna wrote. “I am not going to serve with these sexual deviants, that is not what Congress is about,” she continued.

Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) April 11, 2026 More from the New York Post: A motion to expel is considered privileged in the House – meaning Luna can compel lawmakers to vote up or down on Swalwell, who is a leading Democratic candidate for governor in the race to succeed Gov. Gavin Newsom. Luna called for Swalwell’s alleged victims to present evidence to congressional offices “directly” as a way to counter Swalwell using campaign funds “to try to fight them out in court.” Aides to Swalwell’s campaign have reportedly been bailing since the stunning allegations surfaced Friday. House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and other House leaders issued a statement Friday night on the “incredibly disturbing sexual assault accusations” and called for Swalwell to immediately end his campaign for governor, where he has been polling with front-runners. Luna also said there would be a motion at the end of the month to expel Rep. Sheila Cherflilus-McCormick (D-Fla.), who faces federal grand jury charges of allegedly stealing $5 million in federal disaster funds and using a FEMA overpayment to support her 2021 campaign. A House Ethics subcommittee found last month that 25 of 27 counts against her were proven. “There will likely be votes to expel two members of Congress next week. I really don’t care what side you are on. If you are stealing FEMA funds, sexually assaulting women, harassing them, etc. you need to get out of the House of Representatives,” Luna said. “Maybe leadership on both sides needs to LEAD instead of hiding under rocks and behind vaguely worded statements carefully written to make the American people hate you even more,” she continued.

Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) April 11, 2026 Fox News shared further: Running in the open primary to become California’s next governor, Swalwell was ahead of all other registered Democrats, trailing only Republican Steve Hilton in the latest polling average from Real Clear Politics. That may soon change though, as the allegations have prompted a wave of calls from prominent Democrats for Swalwell to bow out. Those calls have come from party bosses like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and from those closest to Swalwell, such as Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., who retracted an earlier message of support to call for Swalwell to step down. Gallego, who Swalwell has referred to as a “dear friend,” initially faced backlash for defending Swalwell. While other party members like former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., pile on to the calls to drop out, few have gone as far as calling for Swalwell to vacate his congressional seat, a fact Luna highlighted in a morning appearance Saturday on “Saturday in America with Kayleigh McEnany.” “It is unacceptable for him to just index his, campaign for governor in California but still sit in the House of Representatives,” she told McEnany. California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement Saturday, “As we continue to learn more, these allegations from multiple sources are deeply troubling and must be taken seriously.” Meanwhile, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office in New York City said it was investigating allegations against Swalwell. “We urge survivors and anyone with knowledge of these allegations to contact our Special Victims Division at 212-335-9373,” a spokesperson from DA Alvin Bragg’s office stated. “Our specially trained prosecutors, investigators and counselors are well-equipped to help you in a trauma-informed, survivor-centered manner,” the statement continued.
