"The House Ethics Committee has begun an investigation into whether Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., engaged in sexual misconduct toward an employee working under his supervision."
"Swalwell suspended his campaign for California governor after the emergence of allegations that he continues to deny, stating, 'I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made - but that's my fight, not a campaign's.'"
"Democrats quickly abandoned support for Swalwell after allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman twice, including when she worked for him."
"The Ethics Committee said the mere fact that it is investigating these allegations, and publicly disclosing its review, does not itself indicate that any violation has occurred."
