WASHINGTON – The Justice Department is investigating allegations of sexual assault against former Congressman Eric Swalwell, a source familiar with the matter told The Post Thursday.
Prosecutors in New York and detectives in Los Angeles are already scrutinizing Swalwell, who’s been accused by at least five women of sexual misconduct, including at least two instances of rape.
Swalwell has denied criminal wrongdoing, but copped to “mistakes in judgment” in statements ending his Golden State gubernatorial campaign Sunday night and resigning from the House of Representatives Tuesday.
DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced earlier Thursday that she had opened a hotline for anybody to give information about “alleged sexual or inappropriate conduct in DC” by the married Swalwell, 45.
FBI Director Kash Patel has also encouraged any prospective victims to contact federal law enforcement.
