Swalwell Quits Amid Assault Allegations

Representative Eric Swalwell’s bid to lead California has ended abruptly after four women came forward with serious accusations of sexual misconduct, including alleged rape.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s office has confirmed an investigation into an incident involving a former staffer that reportedly occurred in 2024.

While Swalwell has denied the claims and apologized for past 'mistakes in judgment,' a letter signed by over 50 former aides demanded his immediate resignation from Congress.

His exit leaves the Democratic primary for governor in a state of significant upheaval as the party distances itself from the embattled lawmaker.
