"A lot has been said about me today through anonymous allegations. 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."
"Swalwell called the accusations politically timed, noting that they arrived on the eve of an election where I have been the front-runner candidate for governor in California."
"For over 20 years, I have served the public as a city councilman, as a member of Congress, and as a prosecutor who went to court on behalf of victims, particularly on behalf of sexual assault victims."
Eric Swalwell faced serious allegations of sexual assault, which he vehemently denied in a video statement. He claimed the accusations were politically motivated, surfacing just before the California governor election where he was a leading candidate. A former staffer accused him of assaulting her twice, while additional women reported sexual misconduct. Swalwell emphasized his long public service record and commitment to fighting the allegations, asserting that they are false and did not occur.
