"The woman reportedly has text-message evidence of herself talking about this assault and a later one with a friend, and the most recent assault she claims occurred in 2024."
"After the 2024 encounter, the woman reportedly texted her friend saying, 'This happened one other time when I was working with him, but I convinced myself I was an equal party in it even though same pattern: I blacked out and he had sex with me.'"
"Swalwell, who has been married to his wife for 10 years and has three children with her, was quick to deny the accusations. 'These allegations are false and come on the eve of an election against the frontrunner for governor,' Swalwell said in a statement."
