GOP Rep. Tom Reed, who faced misconduct claim, resigns
New York Congressman Tom Reed is resigning, leaving office more than seven months before the end of his term.
Reed said last year that he would not seek reelection after he was accused of sexual misconduct but he announced in a speech on the floor of the U.S. House that he was resigning Tuesday.
He did not give a reason for his resignation but said there is more to do to put “people before politics.”
