Report: Group of Women Preparing to Accuse Rep. Swalwell of Harassment

This story looks like it is growing something like legs, so I'm posting articles that had been in a daily thread.

Report: Group of Women Preparing to Accuse Rep. Swalwell of Harassment

https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2026/04/06/report-group-of-women-preparing-to-accuse-rep-swalwell-of-harassment-n3813608

We all remember the story of Fang Fang, the Chinese spy who allegedly approached Rep. Eric Swalwell when he was still a city council member in Dublin, CA. She allegedly helped with fundraising for his 2014 run for congress. In 2015, Swalwell got a tip from the FBI that Fang Fang was a spy and then cut off contact with her. Swalwell has repeatedly denied having any relationship with her beyond meeting her in a professional capacity.

Today there is another story apparently coming together behind the scenes involving Swalwell and alleged sexual harassment involving multiple women. What takes this past the rumors stage is that the person highlighting these claims is a progressive attorney named Cheyenne Hunt who runs a site called Gen Z for Change. She is on Swalwell's side of the aisle but says she found out about this issue because a personal friend came forward about it. She posted a video about it on Tik Tok which has since been re-posted on X.

The key allegation here, and again this hasn't been verified by any major news outlet yet, is that Swalwell has a habit of sleeping with his staffers and interns and then relying on an NDA to keep it quiet.

Last night, Cheyenne Hunt posted a thread on X going into more detail. Hunt says she is working with a group of women who are currently speaking with reporters about their experiences.

A key point to note here is that Cheyenne Hunt is a Prog political operative, not anything Trump/MAGA (contrary to a Swillwell claim).

Swalwell Campaign Denies Harassment Allegations

https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2026/04/07/swalwell-campaign-denies-harassment-allegations-n3813663

Yesterday I wrote about the allegations that had started to circle around Rep. Swalwell as he campaigns for governor of California. A progressive Democrat named Cheyenne Hunt put out videos on TikTok alleging that a friend of hers had been sexually harassed by Swalwell and that, since talking about it, other women had come forward. In a thread on Twitter, Hunt claimed she was helping connect these women with reporters and that another, larger group of women were independently talking to reporters.

Today, Swalwell's campaign responded to the allegations by denying everything.

A spokesman for Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading Democratic candidate for California governor, on Tuesday denounced online claims that the congressman had inappropriate relationships with young congressional staff members.

“This false, outrageous rumor is being spread 27 days before an election begins by flailing opponents who have sadly teamed up with MAGA conspiracy theorists because they know Eric Swalwell is the frontrunner in this race,” said spokesman Micah Beasley in a statement that was first reported by Politico...

“In 13 years, no one in Eric Swalwell’s Congressional office has ever been asked to sign an NDA. Ever,” Beasley said. “In 13 years, not a single ethics complaint by any staff in his office or any other office has ever been lodged. Ever.”

I think Swillwell is lying, but posting his denial is minimally fair.

Former Staffer Claims Rep. Swalwell Assaulted Her, Current Staffers Resign (Update)

https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2026/04/10/former-staffer-claims-rep-swalwell-assaulted-her-n3813782

The source of these claims, Cheyenne Hunt, is a progressive political insider who claimed she was friends with one of the women and wanted to spread the word so that more women would come forward to share their experiences. She claimed that was indeed happening behind the scenes.

What was lacking was confirmation in the form of a published story by a major news outlet. As recently as Wednesday, Hunt was telling people those stories were coming but needed to be vetted first to ensure they would be air-tight.

Today, the San Francisco Chronicle published the first such story. It's headlined, "Former staffer says Rep. Eric Swalwell, candidate for California governor, sexually assaulted her."

A woman who worked for nearly two years for Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading candidate for California governor, said she had sexual encounters with him while he was her boss and alleged he twice sexually assaulted her when she was too intoxicated to consent...

The woman said Swalwell began pursuing her within weeks after she was hired at age 21 to work in the Democrat’s district office in Castro Valley in 2019. Swalwell messaged her on Snapchat, she said, sending images of his genitals and seeking nude pictures of her in return.

...
The Chronicle shared a summary of the woman's allegations with Swalwell's campaign prior to the publication of the story. Late last night the campaign sent the woman a cease and desist letter. The first page of that letter was posted today by Cheyenne Hunt who said she had been given permission to share it.
...
The Chronicle reports that in addition to threatening the woman with a lawsuit for defamation, the letter said, "the credibility of your accusations is fatally undermined by your voluntary and cooperative relationship with Mr. Swalwell over the course of many years following the period in question."

My emphasis. For chronological reference, Swillwell married his current wife in 2016. The Comical is not a conservative paper. Also, it's an SF paper, and Swillwell's district is just across San Francisco Bay and a little south of SF.

My confirmation bias is obvious, but I think you don't have to look too deeply between the lines to see that the cease-and-desist letter all but admits their relationship had been more than business at the office.

ETA: The LA Times, SacBee, SJ Murky Skews, and San Diego Union-Tribune have articles about this story. The Orange County Register just has an opinion piece that is behind their paywall that seems to be about it. The faucet is dripping pretty hard/fast.

[SVPete]

Cui bono?

Trump? Cheyenne Hunt is a Dem/Prog political operative. She probably has a hard time saying his name without an expletive. Not that Trump would mind Swillwell crashing and burning due to zipper control issues.

Katie Porter or Tom Steyer? Not impossible, and Porter seems to be a b#$%h-boss misandrist, but ...

Cheyenne Hunt? Hunt has said that she's doing this simply to expose Swillwell for what he is. That may be, though even if Swillwell is all she says he is and worse, I do not think the CA Dem Party will be thrilled with her taking out their trash.

CNN: Three More Women Describe Sexual Misconduct by Rep. Swalwell

https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2026/04/10/cnn-four-women-describe-sexual-misconduct-by-rep-swalwell-n3813787

Now, just a few hours later, CNN is reporting on allegations from four women, one of whom is the same woman who told her story to the Chronicle.
...
The CNN story also includes allegations from three additional women.

One woman who connected online with Swalwell over her interest in Democratic politics says she ended up extremely drunk inside his hotel room after a night out with the congressman, with little memory of what occurred. Earlier in the night at a bar, he kissed her and touched her leg without her consent, she said...

For the woman who connected online with Swalwell over Democratic politics, a family member and two friends confirmed she told them last year about the incident where she ended up intoxicated in his hotel room. CNN also reviewed messages between her and Swalwell, including a photo he sent her that matches footage of him during a CNN interview in her city on the night they met in person.

The other two women claim that Swalwell sent them nude photos on Snapchat. One of the women is identified as Ally Sammarco.

While I'm glad Swillwell is getting Me-Too'ed, I do wonder why the MSM have picked up on the story. I wonder whether there's more going on than just the initial source being a Prog political operative (= "safe").

If I had to guess, Swallowswell was probably making noises about wanting to play Pretendsident like #JoeThePedophile got to, and somebody in the DNC's steering Kommittee decided to put the kibosh on that before the Dim'Rat voters started believing they had a say in the candy-date selection process again...

BREAKING: Eric Swalwell under investigation by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg for sexual assault

https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-eric-swalwell-under-investigation-by-manhattan-da-alvin-bragg-for-sexual-assault

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office announced on Saturday that Rep. Eric Swalwell is under investigation for alleged sexual assault from 2024 involving a former staffer. The investigation was launched after multiple women alleged sexual misconduct by Swalwell on Friday.

A former staffer of Swalwell's claimed to CNN that after she was heavily intoxicated she was raped by the congressman in an incident that left her bloody and bruised, “I was pushing him off of me, saying no. He didn't stop." That incident took place in 2024 after she had stopped working in the congressman's office. The unidentified woman said that it happened in 2019 when she was still working for him and alleged that she woke up naked on the bed with Swalwell after drinking.

I'm not sure what Swillwell's "alleged" horndogging has to do with NYC.

Rep. Luna Filing Motion to Expel Swalwell Amid Sexual Assault Allegations

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/luna-swalwell-assault/2026/04/11/id/1252585/

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Texas, says she is filing a motion to expel Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., who has been accused of sexual assault by a former staffer.

Luna made the comment in a series of posts on X. She also called on Swalwell to resign from his post.

“So, the Dems don’t want Swalwell to be governor of California, but he can stay a member of Congress? Are we running a halfway house for sexual predators in Congress now? No,” she said.

While I am very inclined to believe the claims against Swillwell, I think the claims need to be verified before kicking Swillwell out of Congress.

[Texacon]

The democrats are doing this because their candidates for governor of California are refusing to drop out and because the democrats came up with the crazy jungle primary bullshit, if some of the democratic candidates don’t drop out the Republican will win.

Just my take.

KC

[SVPete]

While the Dem Party needed lesser candidates to drop out to avoid spreading out thei vote, Swillwell was their leading candidate.

This is looking to me more like an indy Prog acted to expose Swillwell for what he is and the Dems and the MSM shills have scrambled into CYA mode.

Eric Swalwell Suspends Gubernatorial Campaign

https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/04/12/swalwell-suspends-gubernatorial-campaign-n4951725

Rep. Eric Swalwell has suspended his campaign for governor of California in the wake of multiple sexual misconduct allegations, including sexual assault. The accusations prompted a mass exodus of campaign staff and endorsements. Democrats in Congress, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Sen. Adam Schiff, and other key Democrats called on him to end his campaign.

“I am suspending my campaign for Governor,” Swalwell wrote in a post on X. “To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past.”

He added, “I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.”

Hypothetically, Swillwell could resume his campaign if the claims get disproved quickly enough. In reality, it's mid-April and the primary is in June. That hypothetical ain't going to happen.

There is certainly plenty of established precedent for Dim'Rat scumbags running campaigns from inside prison cells and even winning those races.

This speaks volumes to the general quality of the Dim'Rat voter base in those jurisdictions, or the extent to which the Dim'Rat machine has those jurisdictions rigged...

Live over 1,000 miles away, but I would find it delicious and a possibility that the stupid jungle primary might get both Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco in the run-off. If that occurred, I'm sure Judge Boesberg will declare it invalid or something like that.

[SVPete]

Under CA's "jungle primary" system - against which I voted, BTW - the top two vote getters would be on the November ballot, regardless of party. The polling in the past couple of months had Bianco, Hilton, and Swillwell (alphabetic order) as the three highest %s. The reason both Rs have been so high is that the Dems have something like 8 candidates spreading out Dem potential voters. From that perspective, the Dems "needed" to cull out most of their candidates to avoid the chance of the November ballot having the two Rs and no Dem.

What has me thinking that Dem/Prog political operative Cheyenne Hunt is acting indy is that the Dems simply getting rid of the top Dem makes no sense to me. What does make sense to me is that Hunt's revelations made Swillwell unviable, and the Dems reacted swiftly to make room for ... ??? That swift reaction implicitly means that the Dems and their MSM-shills know enough about Swillwell to know he had zero chance of dodging the Me-Too Bullet. The degree of certainty might vary, but dozens of Dem pols and Dem-shill MSM folk knew what Swillwell is, probably years, even a decade, ago.

Going off into wild-ass speculation ... info about Swillwell's divorce from his first wife is not, AFAIK, online. I have no problem with that. I wonder if it was due to Swillwell's horndoggery and first wife learning about it. I wonder, on another but somewhat related tack, if second wife learned about the horndoggery from Cheyenne Hunt's revelations or if their "marriage" was, ummm, "open".

Rep. Eric Swalwell of California says he will resign from Congress after sexual assault allegations

https://apnews.com/article/congress-ethics-swalwell-california-governor-a1626c5f4dbcc16c85f4313a8d7e5464

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California announced Monday he will resign from Congress following multiple sexual assault allegations that prompted loud bipartisan calls for him to step down.

The decision caps a swift political fall for the seven-term lawmaker, who had been seen as a frontrunner in California’s gubernatorial race before dropping out as the allegations surfaced, claims he has continued to deny.

“I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past,” Swalwell said on social media. “I will fight the serious false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make.”

Down went Swillwell!

Down went Swillwell!

What was it, two weeks since Cheyenne Hunt dropped her revelations? That was a plummet from grace! Noisome probably already has a short list from which he can appoint a replacement.

The whisper network that caught up to Eric Swalwell
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/04/13/influencers-allegations-eric-swalwell-00869517

Five months before Arielle Fodor, better known on social media as “Mrs. Frazzled,” helped set in motion the downfall of Rep. Eric Swalwell, she was singing his praises on Instagram.

“You know how I love to tell you when I meet a politician who acts like a normal human and not a robot!” she posted the day after the California Democrat launched his campaign for governor. “Eric is that.”

It was a fairly anodyne post for Fodor, a prodigious professional poster. But it drew an unusual response: Three people privately warning her that Swalwell was no good.

This is from Politico. It was an open secret about Eric Swalwell.

The Swalwell Scandal Just Got Worse — Way, Way Worse

https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/04/14/the-swalwell-scandal-just-got-worse-way-way-worse-n4951773

The disgraced Democrat announced on Monday that he is stepping down from his seat, just one day after suspending his campaign for California governor. Multiple women had accused him of sexual misconduct, including a former staffer who alleges he raped her twice while she was too intoxicated to consent. Three additional women had piled on with separate misconduct allegations on CNN.

Despite his dropping out of the gubernatorial race and resigning from Congress, Swalwell insists that the accusations against him are false. Swalwell might think resigning will take some heat off of him, but Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) has made it clear she isn't done with him — not even close.

Luna appeared on Fox News with Jesse Watters Monday night and warned that more damaging material about Swalwell would be coming within 24 hours, and she made clear that what she already knows is bad enough on its own.

"I do think that he has serious criminal problems on his hands, and I do think that he might end up in jail," Luna told Watters. "Not only did I receive forensic reporting showing that you know, that infamous video of him in the hotel room was indeed him — it was not AI-generated — but I'm also being told that... more stuff is going to be dropping in the next 24 hours, and that also potentially the individual that recorded that video in the hotel room was a female and she was underage," she claimed.

"San Quentin Quail", too? Again, how much did the MSM and theirDem pol masters know and how many years ago?

Is Gallego Next? UPDATE: Swalwell Accused Of Drugging, Raping 'Friend'

https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2026/04/14/is-gallego-next-n3813881

Did Eric Swalwell really lead a "double life," as Senate Democrat Ruben Gallego claimed while distancing himself from the predator scandal that forced the House Democrat out of office? Could Swalwell have hidden that double life from even his roommate at the time that women alleged Swalwell's predatory behavior took place?

Maybe we should ask his roommate ... Ruben Gallego. The Arizona Democrat also claimed to be Swalwell's best friend and apparent wingman. Suddenly, inquiring minds want Gallego to explain what he knows and when he knew it:

Gallego created this problem for himself. He rushed to defend his "best friend in the world" when allegations first emerged, despite the Democrat mantra of "believe all women." Swalwell's hasty retreat and surrender sawed off the limb onto which Gallego climbed for his pal:
...
Gallego went on offense, only to be caught apparently unaware when Swalwell resigned. Gallego then quickly did an about-face and claimed to have no knowledge of his best friend's interactions with women, not even when they shared a residence for a few years:

Males with Zipper Control issues tend to hide it poorly, if they even try, so Gallego's profession of ignorance strains credibility

The Other Villain In The Swalwell Allegations Is The Complicit Corporate Press

https://thefederalist.com/2026/04/13/the-other-villain-in-swalwell-allegations-is-the-complicit-corporate-press/

The dam broke after the San Francisco Chronicle reported on allegations made by a former staffer who accused Swalwell of sexual assault. CNN released a follow-up report that not only provided additional details of the alleged assault but also included more alleged victims. Swalwell has denied the claims. ...

But the allegations were not just uncovered or recently discovered. Self-described East Bay political journalist Steve Tavares said Saturday that numerous officials knew about the allegations against Swalwell for more than a decade.

“I’ve covered Eric Swa[l]well since he was a member of the Dublin City Council. Shortly after being elected to Congress in 2013, his behavior towards women was known by all levels of our local government and the Alameda County Democratic Party,” Tavares said, adding he “tried repeatedly to get the stories out” but that the alleged victims also chose not to speak out.

Tavares’ post implies that at least one reporter (Tavares) knew about this pattern and that local officials in the Democrat Party apparatus apparently had some level of awareness.
...
Then there is a 2017 CNN report that alleged that “more than half a dozen interviewees independently named one California congressman for pursuing female staffers” but that the outlet would not name the congressman “because the stories are unverified.”

While it still remains unclear who the lawmakers referenced are, it does leave readers wondering whether one of those lawmakers was Swalwell. And regardless of whether it was Swalwell, CNN’s defense that they would not identify the lawmakers because the claims were “unverified” stands in sharp contrast to how allegations against those on the right side of aisle are covered.

Contrast the propaganda press’s decades-long incuriosity about what appears to be an open secret surrounding Swalwell to the coverage of baseless accusations levied against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings. ...

Example 50,000,000,201 of MSM partisanship. The MSM supported Swillwell's rape and horndogging lifestyle because of his Magic Golden D and because Trump.
