Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), who threatened expulsion against Swalwell\u2019s neck for days, had demanded a swift resignation process for the Democrat. On Tuesday morning, after her demands, Luna said that \u201cthat Swalwell has begun the internal process of switching his staff over to the Clerk of the House.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>US Representative Eric Swalwell, Democrat of California, is resigning. <span class=\"credit\">AFP via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Swalwell\u2019s intent to resign also led Republican Congressman Tony Gonzales of Texas \u2014 also accused of sexual misconduct \u2014 to remove himself in the face of a broader threat of expulsion of multiple members with ethics concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Swalwell was about to be subjected to a House Ethics Committee investigation, which could have dug up more information on his alleged incidents. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>Despite his resignation, the Democrat still made it clear he disagreed with the expulsion efforts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExpelling anyone in Congress without due process, within days of an allegation being made, is wrong,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The past few days have been a stunning and swift fall for Swalwell, once seen as an anti-Trump icon for the left.<\/p>\n<p>Rumors began swirling last week of Swalwell last week when influencers hinted at improper behavior with women from him. The candidate initially claimed there was zero truth to the rumors.<\/p>\n<p>All that changed on Friday, when CNN and the San Francisco reported in detail accusations from four women. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>L-R Ally Sammarco, Annika Albrecht, and Cheynene Hunt.

He\u2019s also accused of lewd sexual acts such as sending nudes, harassing and turning up outside one woman\u2019s home.<\/p>\n<p>That same day, the disgraced congressman in a video insisted allegations were still false but admitted lapses in judgment, saying \u201cthose mistakes are between me and my wife and to her I apologize deeply.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The statement, however, did not calm the nerves of his supporters. Reaction was brutally swift. Key allies, including his \u201cbest friend\u201d Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Arizona), abandoned him. Major organizations withdrew endorsements and financial efforts. Political powerhouses like former Speaker Nancy Pelosi called on him to drop out.<\/p>\n<p>Current and former staffers issued damning letters against Swalwell, indicating he had very little support even within his own staff.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, Swalwell suspended his campaign for the governor\u2019s race. Then on Monday, he said he would resign from Congress.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>The entrance to the office of Rep.
