Swalwell accuser cooperating with Manhattan DA investigation
- On Friday, a former staffer accusing Democrat Eric Swalwell of sexual assault confirmed she is cooperating with the Manhattan District Attorney's investigation and has retained new legal counsel, she told CNN.
- The woman, who worked for Swalwell for two years, alleged he sexually assaulted her in a New York City hotel in 2024 and engaged in nonconsensual sexual contact in California in 2019.
- CNN corroborated her account by reviewing contemporaneous text messages and a message from a medical provider calling her a "survivor" following a pregnancy and STD test.
- Swalwell denied the allegations as false, vowed to "defend myself with the facts," and subsequently dropped out of the California governor's race and resigned from Congress.
- The Manhattan District Attorney's investigation, initiated a day after initial media reports on April 10, positions scrutiny of the claims to potentially impact the former representative's legal and political standing.
