Swalwell sexual assault investigation

Swalwell sexual assault investigation

Representative Eric Swalwell, a prominent Democrat and leading candidate for Governor of California, is facing intense scrutiny following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.

The Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, confirmed that the Special Victims Division is investigating a specific claim of assault occurring after a night of drinking in New York City.

In the wake of these reports, Swalwell has lost all 21 of his congressional endorsements, with colleagues citing the severity of the claims.

While the congressman maintains his innocence and intends to remain in the gubernatorial race, Republican lawmakers have already filed motions to expel him from the House of Representatives.
