After a day of swift and devastating political fallout, Eric Swalwell responds to sexual assault allegations in a to-camera video - “A lot has been said about me today through anonymous allegations,” Swalwell said in the video posted to Instagram. “These allegations of sexual assault are flat false. They are absolutely false. They did not happen. They have never happened, and I will fight them with everything that I have.” #USPol #California #Swalwell The statement came after a day of cascading political damage triggered by a San Francisco Chronicle report in which a former Swalwell staffer accused the congressman of sexually assaulting her twice while she was too intoxicated to consent. She said it happened once in 2019 after drinks, when she says she blacked out and awoke naked in his hotel bed, and again in 2024 after a New York charity gala, when she alleges she repeatedly said no. In the video, Swalwell admitted to personal failings. “I have certainly made mistakes in judgment in my past, but those mistakes are between me and my wife,” he said. “And to her, I apologize deeply for putting her in this position.” https://www.advocate.com/politics/national/eric-swalwell-sexual-assault-response
