"Swalwell has faced a wave of accusations from women that he sent explicit messages, including unsolicited nude photos and videos, plus more serious allegations from a former staffer who says he sexually assaulted her while she was intoxicated."
"Many of his staffers, at both his gubernatorial campaign and congressional office, resigned, and a large group of current and former staffers issued a statement supporting his accusers."
"Swalwell announced he was suspending his campaign for California governor. By Monday evening, he had announced he was resigning his congressional seat as well amid growing bipartisan calls for his expulsion from the House."
"As of 2:00PM ET Today neither Cassie [Baloue] nor I work for or report to the former Congressman. We will not be commenting on his behalf, relaying your request to him, or contacting/coordinating with him in any way."
Rep. Eric Swalwell faced numerous sexual misconduct allegations, including sending explicit messages and a serious accusation of sexual assault. He admitted to judgment mistakes but denied assault. Following these allegations, many staffers resigned, and a group supported the accusers. Investigations by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office and House Ethics Committee were initiated. Swalwell suspended his gubernatorial campaign and resigned from Congress, effective shortly after another accusation surfaced. His former chief of staff stated they would not comment on Swalwell's behalf, emphasizing their commitment to the constituents of California's 14th district.
