""These allegations are false and come on the eve of an election against the frontrunner for governor," he said. "I will defend myself with the facts and where necessary bring legal action.""
""Today's reports about Eric Swalwell's conduct while in office are deeply disturbing," Gray said in a statement. "Harassment, abuse, and violence of any sort are unacceptable. Given these serious allegations, I am withdrawing my support and Eric Swalwell should end his campaign immediately.""
""These brave women must be heard and respected," the spokesperson, Christie Stephenson, said in a statement. "It is imperative that the inquiry follow the facts, apply the law and take place immediately.""
Swalwell denied allegations of misconduct, claiming they are false and politically timed. Key supporters, including Reps. Gomez and Gray, withdrew their support, citing disturbing reports of harassment and abuse. Gray called for Swalwell to end his campaign immediately. The situation poses challenges for House Democratic leaders, who are awaiting a full Ethics Committee investigation before taking action against Swalwell. Minority Leader Jeffries emphasized the need for a serious investigation, stating that the allegations must be respected and addressed promptly.
