L.A. County D.A's Office Reviews Criminal Case Involving Former Rep. Eric Swalwell

The sheriff’s victims unit referred the case after allegations from multiple women, and Swalwell’s attorney says the referral is not a charging decision.

  • The Los Angeles County District Attorney is weighing whether to bring charges against former Rep. Eric Swalwell, a spokesperson told NBC News on Thursday. The county sheriff's victims' unit forwarded the case on Sept. 21.
  • Swalwell resigned from Congress and dropped out of the California governor's race following multiple sexual assault allegations, which he denies. These claims surfaced in reports from the San Francisco Chronicle and CNN.
  • The FBI searched Swalwell's Washington home and seized a MacBook Pro, while agents also stopped him at San Francisco airport and took his electronic devices. These actions occurred as part of the investigation into the allegations.
  • Attorney Sara Azari said that Swalwell is "innocent," asserting the referral is a "standard procedural step." She added that "these allegations are false, and the facts will bear that out."
  • Following the resignation, Democrat Aisha Wahab won a special election to fill the seat. The election in November for a full two-year term will be a rematch between Wahab and fellow Democrat Melissa Hernandez.
