5th accuser comes forward against Rep Eric Swalwell ahead of expected resignation
المصدر: Fox News | Source: Fox NewsAnother woman accused Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., of sexual assault on Tuesday, just hours before the embattled lawmaker is expected to resign from the House.
The accuser came forward after four women alleged Swalwell committed sexual misconduct and rape, including at least one incident involving a former staffer, as reported by CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle.
The announcement came during a news conference in Beverly Hills, Calif., organized by the women’s attorney, Lisa Bloom.
Swalwell has repeatedly denied any criminal wrongdoing and has promised to fight "false" accusations.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said he expected Swalwell to offer his resignation letter on Tuesday.
When asked whether he agreed with the decision of Swalwell and scandal-plagued Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, to resign, Jeffries replied, "Yes."
This is a developing story and will be updated.
