Fifth Woman Accuses Rep. Eric Swalwell of Sexual Misconduct | Honolulu Star-Advertiser

The former congressman denied wrongdoing as investigators in New York and Los Angeles reviewed allegations from multiple women.

  • On Tuesday, Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell resigned from the United States Congress effective immediately, after suspending his California gubernatorial campaign on Sunday amid mounting sexual misconduct allegations.
  • Reports from The San Francisco Chronicle and CNN last week detailed sexual misconduct allegations from several women, prompting investigations by the House Ethics Committee and The Manhattan District Attorney.
  • Lonna Drewes, represented by attorney Lisa Bloom, alleged on Tuesday that Swalwell drugged and raped her during a 2018 encounter; her firm plans to file a police report with the Los Angeles County Sheriff.
  • While denying sexual assault, Swalwell apologized for "mistakes in judgment" in a Monday statement, even as many staffers resigned from his office and campaign, with some supporting his accusers.
  • Swalwell's exit leaves billionaire Tom Steyer and Representative Katie Porter as the top remaining Democratic candidates to replace Gavin Newsom, who has set a date for a special election to fill the House seat.
