Swalwell Faces Sexual Misconduct Allegations, Drops Governor Bid

Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell is facing sexual misconduct allegations from four women, including accusations of sexual assault and harassment. The allegations have led Swalwell to drop out of the California governor's race and prompted calls from Democratic lawmakers for his expulsion from Congress. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office is investigating the alleged 2024 sexual assault, while Swalwell has denied the claims and vowed to defend himself. The scandal has resulted in Swalwell losing support from prominent Democrats including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
