Democratic California Rep. Eric Swalwell is under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) amid allegations that he illegally employed an illegal immigrant from Brazil as a nanny. The allegations were made in a February complaint by Joel Gilbert, who claimed that after her nanny's work authorization expired in 2022, he continued to employ the nanny, using campaign funds for child care. The Department for Homeland Security has launched an investigation into the allegations. This comes amid allegations of sexual misconduct against Swalw, including a staffer who alleges that he engaged in sexual activity while she was unable to consent. The Manhattan District Attorney is investigating another alleged incident after a 2024 charity event.
