Swalwell sexual assault investigation

Swalwell sexual assault investigation

Representative Eric Swalwell, a prominent candidate for California governor, is facing mounting pressure to withdraw from the race as multiple allegations of misconduct emerge.

The Manhattan probe follows reporting that a staffer was allegedly coerced into sexual activity when she was unable to consent.

In response, Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna has announced plans to file a motion to expel Swalwell from Congress.

While Swalwell maintains his innocence and vows to fight the claims, several high-profile allies and donors have begun to distance themselves from his campaign.
