US EditionSwalwell Campaign Denies Online Allegations of Inappropriate Behavior
Swalwell campaign denies unverified misconduct claims as Democrats split, with leaders and rivals urging him to exit the governor's race.
- On Tuesday, California gubernatorial candidate Eric Swalwell fiercely denied online rumors alleging sexual misconduct with staffers and interns; campaign spokesperson Micah Beasley called the claims 'false, outrageous rumor' spread by opponents and 'MAGA conspiracy theorists' 27 days before the primary.
- Cheyenne Hunt, a lawyer and executive director of Gen-Z for Change, posted Sunday that she is 'working with a number of women who are in the process of coming forward' with allegations; The Daily Caller published the claims Monday, sparking broader discussion.
- Hunt alleged Swalwell targeted 'employees, interns, and fans, presenting as a mentor and then exploiting that power' through DMs and Snapchat; Swalwell's campaign countered that 'in 13 years, not a single ethics complaint by any staff in his office has ever been lodged.'
- Rep. Katie Porter, a Democratic gubernatorial rival, called the allegations 'very, very troubling' Tuesday on CNN; with the June 2 primary less than two months away, only the top two finishers advance to the general election under California's unique system.
- Last week, Swalwell's attorneys sent a cease-and-desist letter to FBI Director Kash Patel demanding the bureau halt release of investigative files tied to his past association with Christine Fang, a suspected Chinese intelligence operative active between 2011 and 2015.
