Eric Swalwell sexual assault investigation

The scandal has intensified as more than a dozen former aides have condemned the reported behavior as 'abhorrent,' leading to a wave of withdrawn endorsements.

In addition to the assault claims, Swalwell faces complaints regarding the alleged illegal use of campaign funds to pay an unauthorized migrant nanny.

The congressman has denied all accusations, but the mounting pressure has led to calls for his immediate resignation from the House of Representatives.

Legal experts suggest the investigation could trigger a series of ethics probes and potential expulsion votes in Congress.
