X Fact check: The claim in the X post (and its follow-up “alleged list”) is false and unsubstantiated. The original post states:
“LEAK: MULTIPLE CONGRESSMEN & WOMEN WILL RESIGN THIS WEEK DUE TO INCOMING TMZ REPORTS ON THEIR AFFAIRS AND MONEY LAUNDERING” 
It then shares this list of names (some labeled “former Rep”): •Eric Swalwell (D-CA) •Tony Gonzalez (R-TX) •Max Miller (R-OH) •Dan Meuser (R-PA) •Matt Rosendale (former Rep, R-MT) •Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) •Nancy Mace (R-SC) •Anthony DeEsposito (former Rep, R-NY) •Mark Green (former Rep, R-TN) •Lori Chavez (former Rep, R-OR) •Ritchie Torres (D-NY) •Brian Steil (R-WI) •Cory Booker (D-NJ) Key facts from credible reporting (as of April 14, 2026): •Only two recent departures tied to personal scandals: Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) announced his resignation from Congress on April 13 amid multiple allegations of sexual misconduct/assault (which he denies). Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) announced he is retiring amid reports of an affair with a former staffer and lewd texting allegations. TMZ and other outlets have covered these stories. •No evidence of a broader “TMZ leak” or exposé: TMZ has run stories shaming members of Congress for taking vacations during the recent government shutdown/TSA funding issues (a “name-and-shame” campaign), but nothing about affairs or money laundering tied to multiple resignations. There are no credible reports of an incoming TMZ bombshell causing a wave of resignations this week. Searches for TMZ + money laundering + Congress turn up only older/unrelated cases (e.g., past George Santos charges or a 2025 pardon of Rep. Henry Cuellar). •No mass resignations this week: Extensive news searches show no announcements or reports of multiple members (or anyone beyond Swalwell/Gonzales) resigning immediately due to scandals. Many House members have announced they won’t seek re-election in 2026 (normal midterm cycle turnover), but that’s not “resigning this week.” Cory Booker is a Senator with no resignation news. •The list is bogus/recycled: Several people on it are already former members (Rosendale, DeEsposito, Green, Chavez) and not current Congress members. Replies to the post itself note this is “literally just George Santos’ list” (an old, unrelated reference). No credible outlet has linked these specific names to a coordinated TMZ scandal or imminent resignations. Nancy Mace, Max Miller, Ruben Gallego, Ritchie Torres, etc., have no current resignation/scandal news tied to this. In short, this is classic social media rumor-mongering/clickbait with a kernel of truth (two high-profile personal scandals leading to departures, which TMZ reported on) but wildly exaggerated into a nonexistent conspiracy/leak affecting a fabricated list. No mainstream reporting supports the “multiple… this week… incoming TMZ reports on affairs and money laundering” framing. Skeptical replies on the thread (e.g., calling it “bullsh*t” or recycled) align with the facts.

No matter where they are or what they face, they never stand alone. 🙏🇺🇸 Before every mission, they bow their heads and place their trust in the Lord, knowing He walks with them every step of the way. Please keep our troops in your prayers, for their safety and safe return home. ❤️🐾

133 cardinals voted for the Pope 77 MILLION Americans voted for Trump. Why is the Pope spending more time on American politics than fighting the Islamization of Europe? The Vatican sits in Rome which is being destroyed by illegals. Yet it preachers open borders, while it has massive walls itself. Make it make sense.

Dear Catholic Bishops: You’ve been more publicly outraged about Trump’s Truth posts than Iran-backed Islamists slaughtering Christians.

YOU DON'T "SAVE" SOCIAL SECURITY BY RAISING THE MINIMUM AGE TO 71. YOU SAVE IT BY REMOVING EVERYONE, STEALING FROM IT.

Virginia - we have to show up in numbers Democrats never thought we would. This is it. This is our moment. I'm not asking you to vote for a Republican, I'm asking you to vote for VIRGINIA. To protect our balance, our neighbors, our communities ... Please. Show up. Vote NO.
