Accuser to Detail Sexual Misconduct Claims Against Eric Swalwell Following Resignation

Multiple women accused Swalwell of sexual misconduct, including a former staffer who alleged rape, as his gubernatorial support collapsed.

  • Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell announced his resignation from Congress on Monday after sexual misconduct allegations forced him to suspend his gubernatorial campaign.
  • The San Francisco Chronicle and CNN reported last Friday that a former staffer and three other women accused Swalwell of sexual assault, harassment, and sending unsolicited messages.
  • Lonna Drewes alleged that Swalwell drugged and raped her in 2018, while accusers Ally Sammarco and Annika Albrecht claim he sent inappropriate messages via social media.
  • Swalwell's exit leaves billionaire Tom Steyer and California Rep. Katie Porter as leading Democratic candidates to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is completing his second term.
  • The Manhattan District Attorney confirmed on Saturday it is investigating the allegations, while attorney Lisa Bloom plans to file a police report with the Los Angeles County Sheriff.
