Former Staffer Who Accused Swalwell of Raping Her is Cooperating with Manhattan District Attorney’s Investigation

The former staffer who alleged Eric Swalwell raped her in 2024 is cooperating with the Manhattan District Attorney’s investigation, according to CNN.

Earlier this month, the Manhattan District Attorney launched an investigation into Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell over serious allegations of sexual assault.

The San Francisco Chronicle recently published a story about a woman who claimed that Democrat Eric Swalwell sexually assaulted her twice.

The woman, who worked as a staffer in Swalwell’s office for two years, told the San Francisco Chronicle that Swalwell began pursuing her just weeks after she was hired at the age of 21 in 2019.

After the San Francisco Chronicle dropped its bombshell report on Swalwell, three additional women spoke to CNN and provided evidence about alleged additional misconduct by the California Democrat.

The staffer also said Swalwell raped her years later in 2024 after she left his employment.

The unidentified former female staffer sat down with CNN and recounted some of the horrific details about the alleged rape that occurred in 2024.

“I went to the bathroom, and I don’t remember anything after that,” she said, adding that she “remembered the next day.”

“I can see flashes of that evening of him on top of me, me pushing him off, him grabbing me. It was a lot more aggressive. It was aggressive,” she said about the 2024 assault.

“He didn’t stop. He didn’t stop. I woke up the next morning naked, alone in his hotel. I, for a moment, didn’t even know that I was in his hotel room. That’s how intoxicated I was,” she said.

CNN said they corroborated the woman’s claims by speaking with friends and family that she confided in. CNN also reviewed photos and screenshots of contemporaneous text messages. The outlet reviewed a message from her medical provider the week after she received the pregnancy and STD test calling her a “survivor.”

On Friday, CNN reported that Swalwell’s accuser has retained counsel and is cooperating with the Manhattan DA’s investigation.

CNN reported:

A former staffer who accused former California Rep. Eric Swalwell of raping her is now cooperating with an investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, she told CNN.

The woman, who said Swalwell raped her in a New York City hotel in April 2024, shared her story with CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle earlier this month. She also accused Swalwell of having nonconsensual sexual contact with her after a night of heavy drinking in California in 2019, when she worked for him as a junior staffer.

The Manhattan DA’s office launched an investigation into the allegations a day after CNN’s initial report. Swalwell dropped out of the California governor’s race shortly afterward, and then resigned his seat in Congress.

Swalwell said at the time that “these allegations are false,” and vowed to “defend myself with the facts and where necessary bring legal action.”
