"What he did is sick and disgusting, Congressman Ro Khanna told the news programme Fox News Sunday, calling for investigations into the allegations by law enforcement and the US House of Representatives."
"This is not a partisan issue, Representative Pramila Jayapal said Sunday. This cuts across party lines."
Allegations of sexual assault against US Representative Eric Swalwell have led to calls for his resignation from both his congressional position and gubernatorial campaign. Influential Democratic lawmakers have urged him to withdraw following reports detailing misconduct from a former staffer and other women. Despite these allegations, Swalwell has denied them as false and shows no intention of exiting the race. The situation has caused endorsements to be revoked and has prompted investigations by law enforcement and the Manhattan district attorney's office.
