Eric Swalwell Sexual Assault Probe

Eric Swalwell Sexual Assault Probe

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

A former staffer claims the congressman assaulted her on two occasions, including a 2024 incident in a New York hotel room.

Swalwell has lost all 21 of his congressional endorsements as colleagues and staffers respond to the 'abhorrent' reports.

Despite mounting pressure to withdraw from the California gubernatorial race and resign from Congress, Swalwell remains in the contest and firmly denies any wrongdoing.
