"Schiff, one of the state's most prominent Democrats, previously served with Swalwell on the House Intelligence Committee, where they riled Republicans by investigating President Trump during his first term. They also both worked to impeach Trump during his first term, with Schiff serving as the lead manager of Trump's first impeachment and Swalwell as a manager of Trump's second impeachment."
""Congressman Swalwell and I worked together to investigate Trump during his first presidency, and Eric played a leadership role in the impeachment trial after the President incited a violent mob to attack the capitol on January 6th," Schiff said. "What I saw then, and what I know now, is that Eric is fully prepared to get things done and deliver for the Golden State, even as he will fight to protect our values, rights and freedoms.""
Sen. Adam Schiff endorsed Rep. Eric Swalwell for California governor. Schiff and Swalwell previously served together on the House Intelligence Committee and investigated President Trump during his first term. Both took part in impeachment efforts, with Schiff as lead manager of Trump's first impeachment and Swalwell as a manager of Trump's second. Schiff praised Swalwell's vision and strength to lower costs for families and to protect democracy from Donald Trump. Swalwell announced his gubernatorial bid in November to replace the termed-out Gov. Gavin Newsom and entered a crowded field without a clear front-runner. Both men deny mortgage fraud allegations from the Trump administration, and Swalwell has sued FHFA Director Bill Pulte over alleged misuse of government databases.
