Swalwell Faces New Allegations of Unwanted Messages and Hotel Advances

More than a dozen women described flirty messages, unsolicited photos and hotel-room invitations as Swalwell faces criminal investigations and renewed scrutiny.

  • On Sunday, a CNN report detailed accounts from more than a dozen women describing uncomfortable interactions with former Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell, ranging from digital messages to alleged hotel solicitations.
  • These accounts emerged less than a month after Swalwell resigned from Congress following separate rape and sexual assault accusations, with new claims spanning the last decade of conduct.
  • One woman, Clara Miklaucic, claimed Swalwell tracked her down on LinkedIn after a brief restaurant meeting to send flirty messages; others reported explicit Snapchat messages and hotel visit requests.
  • Attorney Sara Azari issued a statement asserting that Swalwell "categorically and unequivocally denies" the allegations and characterized some encounters as "routine and professional." Swalwell faces criminal investigations in New York and California.
  • Critics noted the irony of these allegations given Swalwell's 2018 rhetoric about Kavanaugh, when he asked, "What are the chances that three or four women" would have similar experiences with one person.
