Eric Swalwell. It first says he faced accusations of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/uk-may-deport-afghan-who-raped-and-murdered-austrian-child-fled-to-uk-by-boat\/\" title=\"UK May Deport Afghan Who Raped and Murdered Austrian Child, Fled to UK by Boat\">severe sexual abuse<\/a> reported<\/a> by CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle on April 10, which reportedly led him to resign and withdraw from public life. It then claims that, in a new CNN report dated May 4, Swalwell is accused again-this time involving his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-here-are-the-10-worst-colleges-for-free-speech\/\" title=\"...ort: Here Are The 10 Worst Colleges For Free Speech\">social media activity<\/a> on Snapchat-where he is alleged to have messaged multiple women after his lawyer learned about the original allegations, purportedly in an attempt to intimidate or \u201cgaslight\u201d them. The article adds that Swalwell denies wrongdoing, saying any contact was routine and professional, and it quotes accusers describing distress after being contacted. It also references his political background and earlier controversies, including his previous attacks on judicial nominee Brett kavanaugh.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Former Representative Eric Swalwell was first stricken with allegations of severe sexual abuse on April 10 by multiple women in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2026\/04\/10\/us\/eric-swalwell-sexual-misconduct-allegations-invs\">expos\u00e9<\/a> for CNN and accompanying expos\u00e9 for the San Francisco Chronicle.<\/p>\n<p>Now, he\u2019s being accused of more misconduct, this time under the guise of his social media persona as Congress\u2019 \u201cSnapchat King.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This latest round of accusations from yet another CNN report published May 4 alleges Swalwell reached out to multiple women \u201cin an attempt to gaslight or intimate\u201d them on Snapchat the night after his lawyer was informed of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/poll-one-in-six-biden-voters-would-have-changed-their-vote-if-they-had-known-about-scandals-suppressed-by-media\/\" title=\"Poll: One In Six Biden Voters Would Have Changed Their Vote If They Had Known About Scandals Suppressed By ...\">sexual assault allegations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Swalwell, a Californian Democrat and high-level Pelosi prot\u00e9g\u00e9, earned a spot in the media as one of the DNC\u2019s most ardent fighters against supposed government corruption and so-called personal malfeasance amongst Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>Swalwell even attacked Kavanaugh during his 2018 nomination hearings.<\/p>\n<p>Then-Representative Swalwell even said in an <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/GrabienMedia\/status\/2042968584196878621\">interview<\/a> for MSNBC that the Judiciary Committee should \u201cbring in all the victims\u2026 to be questioned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just over a month ago, Swalwell found himself under fire over his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/two-more-men-linked-to-netflix-doc-charged-with-sexual-misconduct-with-minors\/\" title=\"Two More Men Linked To Netflix Doc Charged With Sexual ...

Swalwell\u2019s attorney, Rita Azari, told CNN he never sustained any contact between the women that weren\u2019t \u201croutine and professional.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Swalwell repeatedly denies any improper involvement with any of his alleged victims, the cries for accountability and justice continue to grow with these new allegations.<\/p>\n<p>This is especially concerning considering this alleged contact occurred after the April 10 bombshell and appears to be a clear example of gross intimidation.<\/p>\n<p>Swalwell doubled back on Snapchat after CNN contacted his attorney about alleged sexual abuse incidents. He reportedly inquired to one of the accusers the next day at 1:57 A.M. Eastern \u201cwhy are you screenshotting my snap?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This accuser, Amanda Koski, told CNN \u201cGiven the accusations against him, attempting to gaslight or intimidate a woman on Snapchat at 2:00 A.M. isn\u2019t overly becoming of a person who has \u2018done no wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A woman who remains anonymous in the CNN report also alleges she received a similar message on the same night at 1:40 A.M. Eastern, describing how her \u201cwhole chest got tight\u201d and how she \u201cimmediately started crying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This alleged barrage of intimidation tactics and harassment following the damning April 10 bombshell fuels more speculation on Swalwell\u2019s true role in these accusations.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
