Swalwell faces sexual assault allegations
The allegations, first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, involve a former staffer who claims Swalwell assaulted her on two separate occasions.
Swalwell has issued a video statement flatly denying the claims as 'flat false' and vowing to continue his campaign.
However, the loss of key endorsements has placed his front-runner status in significant jeopardy.
The controversy has sparked a broader debate within the party about accountability and the future of his political career.
