What happened: The US House of Representatives is expected to consider expelling Democrat Eric Swalwell amid sexual assault allegations. This move could trigger further removal votes against members from both parties.
Why it matters:
- Potential expulsions could reshape House membership and party dynamics.
- Allegations and votes affect public trust in elected officials.
MNN Take: The House has the authority to expel members for misconduct, and such votes are rare but significant for congressional accountability.
