Swalwell Faces Sexual Assault Investigation

Swalwell Faces Sexual Assault Investigation

Representative Eric Swalwell's political career is in jeopardy following bombshell accusations of sexual misconduct and assault.

A former staffer alleged that Swalwell assaulted her in a New York hotel room in 2024, prompting a criminal inquiry by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.

Swalwell has vehemently denied the claims, calling them politically motivated and 'absolutely false.' Despite his denials, he has lost dozens of endorsements from Democratic colleagues and faces calls to resign from Congress.
