A woman who claims to have “serious sexual misconduct” allegations against Eric Swalwell will hold a bombshell press conference Tuesday morning in Beverly Hills, California.
The announcement comes on the heels of Swalwell announcing his resignation from Congress on Monday, following a series of sexual misconduct allegations including an ex-staffer who claimed he raped her.
Eric Swalwell speaks during a House Judiciary Committee hearing. Getty Images “I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past,” Swalwell said, but still insisted he will “fight the serious, false allegation made against me.”
The media event featuring the new accuser will take place at 9;30am PT, according to the women’s attorney Lisa Bloom.
Bloom is a high-profile attorney who has built a career around defending women’s rights and victims of sexual assault.
The Democrat is facing a growing number of calls from members of Congress to expel him in light of the news, and also is under investigation by the Manhattan district attorney.
