Tony Gonzales and California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell . (Swalwell is also accused of sexual assault, and other women have come forward. He has denied the allegations .)

She’s a columnist covering gender and politics at The Guardian.And in headlines, a new report says the global economic outlook is not looking great, American conservatives take a blow on the international stage , and President Trump responds to a Federal Emergency Management Agency official who claims that he teleported to a Waffle House.Show Notes: Check out Moira's work – theguardian.com/profile/moira-donegan Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday","meta_description":"Two members of Congress stepped down over allegations of sexual misconduct from former staffers on Tuesday — Texas Republican Rep.
