Eric Swalwell facing DOJ investigation

Federal investigators are examining claims from at least five women who have accused Eric Swalwell of sexual misconduct and rape.

The investigation follows a series of civil lawsuits and public statements that have severely damaged the former congressman's political standing.

Lawmakers from both parties have expressed alarm over the allegations and are calling for greater accountability for misconduct on Capitol Hill.

Swalwell has denied all accusations and stated he will cooperate with the ongoing inquiry.
