The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, led by Trump foe Alvin Bragg, has opened an investigation into Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) over sexual assault allegations made by one of his former staffers.

Swalwell was accused of having sex with an ex-staffer in his hotel bed while she was intoxicated, preventing her from giving consent. The alleged incident took place in New York City in April 2024 after she had already stopped working in Swalwell’s office.
