Swalwell addressing fellow members of Congress.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In a devastating blow to Rep. Eric Swalwell\u2019s political future, senior staff members from both his congressional office and his California gubernatorial campaign have publicly turned against him, releasing a scathing statement condemning his alleged conduct following explosive new reports of sexual assault and a video of him kissing a woman who is reportedly a sex worker.<\/h3>\n

The denunciation follows bombshell reports published Friday by the San Francisco Chronicle and CNN detailing sexual misconduct allegations from four women<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of them, a staffer of two years, said she was raped by him twice.<\/p>\n

The three other women accused him of various forms of sexual misconduct, including sending unsolicited nude photos.<\/p>\n

\n

Martin Shkreli also released shocking video footage<\/a> appearing to show the married congressman in an intimate encounter with a woman who is not his wife, and who he said was a sex worker.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Brennan Leach (@brennanleach) April 11, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The statement from Swalwell’s staff read in full:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAs leaders of teams working for Eric Swalwell, we\u2019re horrified by the recent reporting in the San Francisco Chronicle and by CNN.<\/p>\n

We stand with our former colleague, and the other women who have come forward. We believe you should stand with them, too.<\/p>\n

The behavior detailed in these reports is abhorrent, beneath the dignity of those serving in public office and betrays the trust of all Californians.<\/p>\n

We also understand that we lead teams who need guidance and stability now, more than ever. We are focused on supporting our colleagues during this challenging time.<\/p>\n

Any decision of staff members to remain in their roles in the interim should not be viewed as support for Eric Swalwell. We recognize that not everyone \u2014 in particular our junior staff \u2014 can immediately forfeit their income and benefits without significant personal risk or consequence. Our responsibility now is to them.<\/p>\n

We, more than he, understand that we have obligations to the people we lead and to the constituents of California\u2019s 14th Congressional District. Those of us that remain on staff do so for the sole purpose of ensuring that as many of those obligations are fulfilled as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The statement was signed, “Senior staff, Office of California\u2019s 14th Congressional District” and “Senior staff, Eric Swalwell for Governor 2026.”<\/p>\n

The scandal has triggered a rapid collapse of his gubernatorial campaign.<\/p>\n

Multiple top staffers resigned before the stories were even published, and high-profile endorsements have been pulled, including from Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.<\/p>\n

The Manhattan District Attorney\u2019s office has reportedly opened an investigation into the sexual assault allegations.<\/p>\n

Swalwell has denied all of the allegations.<\/p>\n
