Latest Shocking Entertainment News: Manhattan DA Launches Investigation After Eric Swalwell Assault Allegations

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has launched an investigation into democratic congressman Eric Swalwell after he was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women.

“We urge survivors and anyone with knowledge of these allegations to contact our Special Victims Division at 212-335-9373,” the DA’s office told CNN in a Saturday, April 11, statement. “Our specially trained prosecutors, investigators and counselors are well-equipped to help you in a trauma-informed, survivor-centered manner.”

On Friday, April 10, Swalwell, 45, was accused of sexual misconduct and sexual harassment by multiple women, including a former staffer who claims the congressman raped her twice. He has categorically denied the accusations.

“These allegations of sexual assault are flat false. They are absolutely false,” Swalwell said in a Friday social media video. “They did not happen. They have never happened. And I will fight them with everything I have.”

Swalwell has not publicly addressed the investigation. Us Weekly has reached out to Swalwell’s communications director for comment. The California politician has vehemently denied the allegations and, while he has admitted to “mistakes,” he maintains his innocence.

“[The accusations] come on the eve of an election, where I have been the frontrunner candidate for governor of California,” he said on Friday. “I do not suggest to you in any way that I am perfect or that I’m a saint.”

He continued, “I have certainly made mistakes in judgment in my past, but those mistakes are between me and my wife. And to her, I apologize deeply for putting her in this potion.”

Swalwell has been married to Brittany Watts since 2016, during which period they welcomed three children. While Watts has not publicly spoken out regarding the accusations or the DA investigation, her husband that said he plans to “spend time” with their family in the wake of the claims.

“This weekend, I’m going to spend time with my family and friends,” Swalwell said in this Friday video denial. “I appreciate those who’ve reached out to me to show support. I look forward to updating you very soon.”

Swalwell further issued an apology to any of his supporters who might have “doubted” their support for the gubernatorial candidate as a result of the numerous allegations.

“I think you know who I am,” he stressed. “For over 20 years, I have served the public as a city councilman, as a member of congress and as a prosecutor who went to court on behalf of victims — particularly on behalf of sexual assault victims. That’s who I am and have always been.”
