Eric Swalwell Investigation

Swalwell Implosion Craters Congress

pgnewser April 16, 2026 0

The Democrat congressman turned California Senate candidate is now former in both categories. Eric Swalwell is now out of the Senate race and congress after more women have come forward, accusing him of sexual assault and harassment. The fallout could affect other members of congress on both sides of the aisle, who may have similar credible accusations against them.

An inconvenient Democrat has had his career torpedoed by an avalanche of allegations, and the media want to give themselves a big pat on the back for their heroic “investigative journalism.”

They deserve no applause from the American people. In fact, the whole episode is a masterclass in media bias. More on that in a bit.

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., announced Monday that he was not only bowing out of the California governor’s race to replace outgoing Gov. Gavin Newsom, but that he would be leaving Congress entirely.

Swalwell, in just a few days, was hit with an avalanche of accusations that he had inappropriate relationships and engaged in sexual misconduct with a series of women, including a staffer. Swalwell is married.

As I write this, another accuser has come forward saying that Swalwell drugged and raped her in 2018.

Resignations came quickly this week from two congressmen accused of sexual misconduct toward staff members. Yet for many of the women of Capitol Hill, the moment of accountability was years in the making — and far from enough.

Reps. Eric Swalwell, a California Democrat, and Tony Gonzales, a Texas Republican, both announced within hours of each other Monday that they were leaving Congress. Their decisions came the day before the House returned to Washington and as both faced the prospect of being expelled from the chamber by their colleagues.

It was a reckoning of sorts for Capitol Hill, the most striking since the careers of roughly a dozen male politicians were toppled during the heights of the #MeToo movement. Yet some congresswomen said that the pair of resignations took too long and proved what they’ve long been saying: that more must be done to rid Capitol Hill of sexual predation.

Swalwell officially resigned from Congress on Tuesday amid allegations of sexual misconduct.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has set a date for a special election to fill disgraced Rep. Eric Swalwell’s seat after he resigned from Congress amid allegations of rape and sexual assault. Swalwell was forced to drop out of the California gubernatorial race as well as quit his seat due to the salacious accusations.

“I, Gavin Newsom, Governor of the State of California, do hereby proclaim and order that a special election shall be held on the 18th day of August 2026, within the 14th Congressional District of the State, to fill the vacancy in the office of the U.S. House of Representatives from said district resulting from the resignation of Representative Eric Swalwell,” Newsom said.

Swalwell officially resigned from Congress on Tuesday after the serious allegations against him were made public. Video showing Swalwell in compromising sexual circumstances was also released by Human Events Daily’s Jack Posobiec and Martin Shkreli showing Swalwell in bed with a woman who was not his wife.

“I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make,” Swalwell said in a statement.

“I am aware of the efforts to bring an immediate expulsion vote against me and other members. Expelling anyone in Congress without due process, within days of an allegation being made, is wrong. But it’s also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties. Therefore, I plan to resign my seat in Congress,” he added. “I will work with my staff in the coming days to ensure they are able, in my absence, to serve the needs of the good people of the 14th district.”

WASHINGTON — Eric Swalwell’s downfall has raised the possibility of a broader reckoning on Capitol Hill as congressional staffers, reporters and opposition researchers race to verify long-standing rumors of a sordid underground culture among the city’s most powerful.

Former lawmakers across the political spectrum have warned for years of a hushed congressional bacchanal marked by inappropriate revelry and sexual misconduct. But a sense of growing momentum gripped Congress on Tuesday, as Democrats grappled with Swalwell’s resignation and Republicans called for other lawmakers to face scrutiny.

The 72-hour collapse of Swalwell’s political career has shifted attention not only to his closest associates in Congress, but also to a larger set of sitting lawmakers from both parties suspected of lurid sexual activity. Several members have claimed that Swalwell’s alleged behavior was an open secret amid a cacophony of rumors on social media of other potential offenders.

“I think that many people knew about this for a while,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida Republican, said in an interview with The Times.

California Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell, who until Sunday was running for governor of his state, will now be one of those cautionary tales his party likes to use in claiming that — unlike Republicans — Democrats are too concerned with principles and decency. It’s a pathetic coping front for what really happened with that sick party, which once again is living by the destructive, anti-American standards they’ve tried imposing on everyone else.

A few women in recent days — all anonymous except one — went to some media outlets to accuse Swalwell of sexual misconduct, including rape. The lizardly congressman has denied any criminal wrongdoing while also apologizing for “mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past.” Nevertheless, he suspended his gubernatorial campaign and now faces some pressure to resign from Congress, as well as a criminal investigation in New York.

Purely based on the so-far reported details of this unseemly saga, there’s no reason to deny Swalwell’s American entitlement to innocence before proven guilty. As is routine in these #MeToo episodes, the accusations are mostly just that — accusations — and the supporting evidence is limited to friends and family of the alleged victims who attest to their validity.

Eric Swalwell is 45 years old, and at some point in the near future, the odds are that he will try to stage a political comeback. That is the only explanation I can think of for Swalwell’s resignation statement, which contained enough ambiguity and blame of others to suggest that he is going to try to reemerge after he thinks the scandal has blown over.

Here was Swalwell’s resignation statement:

Swalwell talks about taking responsibility, but he doesn’t give any indication that he thinks he did anything wrong. Sexual misconduct and sexual assault are not mistakes. Those are choices that hurt and harm women. A mistake is something that wasn’t intended to happen. What Swalwell did was make a choice.

Brownstein’s statements were so off the point where even host Audie Cornish had to remind him Republicans were poised to expel Congressman Tony Gonzales (R-TX) after the sexual affair scandal that helped lead to a loss in his primary.

Cornish had to push back on Brownstein with mention of grown Republican support to expel Representative Tony Gonzales (R-TX) as a point against Brownstein’s allegations of Republican support of sexual abuse, as Brownstein was still stuck on the Republican “coalition”:

Brownstein’s attempt not to talk about Swalwell took the conversation off track and did not give the Swalwell conversation its needed focus. The hijacking of the segment only reflected poorly on Brownstein in his attempt to minimize Swalwell’s actions, something that, apparently, had been an open secret on Capitol Hill and California politics.

Not long ago, Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California had reasonable hopes of winning his state’s 2026 gubernatorial election.

Now, however, the congressman faces serious allegations of sexual misconduct that even his fellow Democrats cannot ignore.

According to Politico, prominent House Democrats made the rounds on Sunday news shows and called for Congress to expel Swalwell, along with a handful of other legislators embroiled in scandals of their own.

“This shouldn’t be about politics,” Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California said on “Fox News Sunday.”

“Anyone who abuses young girls and staffers should not be in the United States Congress. And many Democrats have said that not only should he resign, there needs to be an investigation in law enforcement. You cannot do what he did. And I believe the survivors.”

The party did not endorse a candidate for governor on Sunday because neither of the top Republicans — Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco and former Fox News host Steve Hilton — received the support of 60% of delegates. Bianco won 49% while Hilton had 44%; 7% of delegates voted not to endorse in the race.

A “shocking” number of former female employees and interns are preparing to come forward to accuse Rep. Eric Swalwell (|D-Calif.) of sexual misconduct, according to a Democrat activist.

Cheyenne Hunt, a lawyer, former congressional candidate and executive director of the left-wing nonprofit Gen-Z for Change, revealed on X Sunday, that she has been working with a number of women who are in the process of sharing their accusations with major news outlets. Hunt said she knew of a separate and “much larger group” of women who are also currently in the process of sharing their stories.

Swalwell’s alleged inappropriate sexual behavior is said to be an “open secret” in Washington DC, as is his alleged practice of forcing underlings to sign nondisclosure agreements.

Hunt posted an initial video on Instagram in late March accusing Swalwell of having “a known history of being predatory towards women.”  She cited a woman who told her: “You know Eric Swalwell has slept with many of his interns and makes them all sign NDAs so they don’t speak up, right? And when I was 19 he tried hitting on me and sliding into my DMs and I have so many other friends that have similar experiences with him.”

Hunt said the allegation was “not an anomaly” but “part of a pattern.”

The group’s executive director, Cheyenne Hunt, detailed the impending allegations against Swalwell, who is running for governor of California, in a series of social media posts.

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) has announced plans to run for governor of California in 2026. He is also facing potential DOJ charges after Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), sent a letter to the Department of Justice recommending charges for the gubernatorial candidate.

The recommended charges are connected to claims he has used on mortgage applications claiming his $1.2 million Washington D.C. townhouse was his primary residency while he was representing California’s 14th District (which he still does).

Eric Swalwell Criminally Referred to DOJ on Mortgage Fraud, Tax Fraud Allegations – American Greatness

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) has reportedly been criminally referred to the Department of Justice for a potential federal probe into allegations of mortgage fraud, state and local tax fraud, wire fraud and insurance fraud.

Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), sent a letter sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday, alleging that Swalwell may have made false or misleading statements in loan documents, NBC reported on Thursday.

The allegations are reportedly tied to his $1.2 million Washington, D.C., townhouse, which Swalwell listed as his primary residence in 2022, despite representing California’s 14th District and maintaining ties there.
