Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) resigned from Congress on April 13, 2026, just three days after four women publicly accused him of sexual misconduct ranging from unsolicited explicit messages to rape, with a fifth accuser emerging as resignation pressure mounted. The scandal collapsed his gubernatorial campaign, triggered criminal investigations by the Manhattan and Alameda County district attorneys, and raised questions about why behavior described by multiple sources as an "open secret" in Washington went unaddressed for years.
