American politician steps down amid claims of inappropriate behavior

Democatic Representative Eric Swalwell announced his resignation from Congress Monday over allegations of sexual misconduct.
nSwalwell, who had been a candidate for governor of California, announced his decision in a statement posted to his account on X.
