Eric Swalwell Sexual Assault Investigation

Eric Swalwell Sexual Assault Investigation

Representative Eric Swalwell is facing a criminal inquiry by the Manhattan District Attorney's office following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct and assault.

A former staffer alleged that Swalwell assaulted her in a New York hotel room, leading to a cascade of similar claims from other women.

The congressman has vehemently denied all accusations, characterizing them as politically motivated attacks intended to derail his gubernatorial bid.

However, the fallout has been swift, with Swalwell losing all 21 of his endorsements from Democratic colleagues in Congress as pressure mounts for him to exit the race.
