Eric Swalwell (D-CA) faces new allegations before resignation

Lonna Drewes accused Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) of drugging and raping her in 2018, detailing her experience during a press conference on April 14, 2026. Drewes stated she was incapacitated before the alleged attack and indicated plans to file a police report. Swalwell announced his resignation from Congress effective the same day as the allegations resurfaced, following a history of sexual misconduct claims against him. He previously suspended his campaign for California governor on April 10, 2026, and is under criminal investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office regarding another alleged incident.
