U.S. Representative Tony Gonzales, embroiled in a scandal involving an affair with a former staffer who later took her own life, has announced his resignation from Congress. Despite initially denying the claims, Gonzales admitted to the affair on the Joe Pags podcast in March. The scandal escalated as Republican leaders, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, urged him to step down and face the House Ethics Committee. Gonzales maintained that the staffers death was not his fault, but the mounting pressure and uncertainty over his reelection led to his decision to resign.
