""I am suspending my campaign for Governor. To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made -- but that's my fight, not a campaign's.""
"The Manhattan District Attorney's Office on Saturday announced it is now investigating a claim from one of Swalwell's former staffers. She told CNN she was heavily intoxicated after a night of drinking with Swalwell in New York City in April 2024, when she woke up to him having sex with her in his hotel bed."
"The San Francisco Chronicle also reported Friday that a former female congressional staffer accused Swalwell of two separate non-consensual sexual encounters. The report alleges the interactions occurred beginning in 2019, when the woman was 21 years old and newly hired to work in the Democrat's district office in Castro Valley."
"The congressman categorically denies any misconduct that took place."
