"I want to make a couple of things very clear. Number one, Eric Swalwell lied to all of us. He lies to the most powerful people in this country. And they trusted him. They trusted him with some of the most sensitive spots in our government."
"The women that came forward are courageous and they still deserve justice. But to be clear again, I also had no knowledge of predatory behavior, sexual assault, or harassment."
"Unfortunately, right now, the same people that were attacking me in 2024 are using this horrible situation... and using this as an excuse to politically attack me, lie about me, and lie about my family."
Sen. Ruben Gallego held a press conference to clarify his relationship with Eric Swalwell following allegations of sexual abuse against Swalwell. Gallego expressed regret for being misled by Swalwell, stating that their friendship clouded his judgment. He emphasized that he had no prior knowledge of Swalwell's alleged predatory behavior and condemned the use of this situation by political operatives to attack him. Gallego affirmed the courage of the women who came forward and insisted on the need for justice while rejecting the political motivations behind the attacks against him.
