Swalwell Resigns Amid Rape Allegations
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is investigating a report of a 2018 rape allegedly committed by Swalwell at a West Hollywood hotel.
Campaign records showing hotel charges from that period have emerged as potential evidence, while more victims have come forward with stories of harassment.
Swalwell's legal team has dismissed the claims as a 'political hit job,' but top Democrats have already begun scrubbing his endorsements and PAC support.
The resignation marks a stunning downfall for a lawmaker once considered a rising star and a key figure in the first impeachment of Donald Trump.
