House Ethics Committee announces investigation into Rep. Eric Swalwell

The panel said it is reviewing allegations involving at least four women and conduct toward an employee under Swalwell’s supervision.

  • The House Ethics Committee announced on Monday that it has opened an investigation into misconduct allegations against Rep. Eric Swalwell , reviewing claims he violated the Code of Official Conduct.
  • CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle reported that a former staffer accused the California Democrat of sexual assault, with additional reports alleging unsolicited nude photos and graphic messages that Swalwell denies.
  • Swalwell suspended his California gubernatorial campaign on Sunday, posting, "I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made," while maintaining his innocence despite the investigation.
  • Democrats quickly withdrew support for Swalwell after the allegations emerged, as the investigation follows reports he engaged in sexual misconduct toward an employee working under his supervision while serving in Congress.
  • The Ethics Committee stated that public disclosure of this review does not itself indicate any violation has occurred, as it formally examines whether Swalwell violated the Code of Official Conduct or applicable law.
