"I said, 'pal you busted the trust. I'm disappointed and disgusted. Get the f*** out of here,' said Stephen Cloobeck, expressing his feelings towards Swalwell after the allegations surfaced."
"I'd have to know more about it, but it certainly raises red flags. We attempted to reform some of the most egregious abuses of privately-sponsored travel by members of Congress and travel paid for by other governmental sources back with the 'Honest Leadership and Open Government Act' in 2008 and we achieved some really phenomenal reforms."
Eric Swalwell has resigned from Congress following sexual assault allegations. His former supporter, Stephen Cloobeck, expressed disappointment and kicked Swalwell out of his home. Cloobeck, now identifying as a Libertarian Republican, highlighted Swalwell's breach of trust. Financial disclosures reveal Swalwell accepted a nearly $31,000 private flight to France from Cloobeck, raising ethical questions. Although the House Committee on Ethics does not classify this as a violation, concerns about privately-sponsored travel persist, as noted by government affairs lobbyist Craig Holman, who advocates for ethical reforms in Congress.
