The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office announced on Saturday that it is launching an investigation into California Rep. Eric Swalwell, over an alleged sexual assault involving a former staffer in 2024, according to a new report.
Swalwell’s former staffer — who has not been identified — told CNN that after a night of drinking with her former boss in April 2024, she was heavily intoxicated and woke up to him having sex with her in his hotel bed.
“I was pushing him off of me, saying no,” the woman told the outlet. “He didn’t stop.”
The staffer — who is one of four women to recently come out with allegations of sexual misconduct by Swalwell — said the incident occurred after she stopped working in his office.

These allegations have sent shockwaves through the Democratic Party, with many top Democrats, including Reps. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Nancy Pelosi (D-NY), calling on Swalwell to drop his bid for governor. Swalwell has, so far, refused to drop out despite losing most of his fundraising base and endorsement pool.

Hey, I just got off the phone with a trusted friend. This is real. Take it seriously. Eric Swallwell cannot be our nominee. There is going to be a lot more coming out soon.
I can’t say more right now, but stay tuned. https://t.co/YMeQ5cO7KQ
