Manhattan District Attorney Launches Investigation into Eric Swalwell Amid Sexual Assault Allegations
A Manhattan District Attorney has initiated an investigation into Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) following allegations of sexual misconduct. The allegations, which were first reported by The New York Times, have sparked a wave of condemnation from his colleagues in Congress.
In an unsigned statement, Swalwell’s staff expressed their “horrified” response to the accusations. Meanwhile, Swalwell’s attorney has denied any wrongdoing and stated that the congressman took responsibility for “lapses in judgment.”
As a result of the allegations, Swalwell has lost all 21 of his endorsements from Democratic colleagues in Congress. The move is seen as a significant blow to his reputation and could potentially lead to his expulsion from the House of Representatives.
The investigation into Swalwell is ongoing, and no further details have been released at this time.
