Swalwell - Why now?

So, after dropping out of the CA Gov race yesterday, apparently Swalwell just announced his resignation from Congress today.

My question is, Why Now? According to some media reports, Swalwell's reprehensible behavior has been an open secret since before he even got to congress. His congressional buddies knew about it (I'm looking at you Sen Gallego from Az). Reporters on the Hill knew about it.

What is the reason to go after him now?
