The office is seeking survivors and witnesses as Swalwell denies wrongdoing and multiple women have accused him of sexual misconduct.

  • On Saturday, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office confirmed its Special Victims Division is investigating sexual assault allegations against Representative Eric Swalwell, with officials noting no charges have been filed.

  • Swalwell denies the allegations as "absolutely false," while attorney Elias Dabaie claimed they are a "coordinated effort to undermine his candidacy." CNN reported four women accused Swalwell of sexual misconduct.
  • Within hours, Senator Adam Schiff and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries withdrew endorsements, while SEIU California and other labor unions rescinded support, calling for Swalwell to end his gubernatorial campaign.
  • Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi advised Swalwell to step aside as the controversy destabilizes the race to replace Governor Gavin Newsom, with mail ballots arriving next month before the June 2 primary.
