A video has surfaced showing California Congressman Eric Swalwell forcibly kissing an alleged sex worker, and allegations of sexual misconduct threaten to derail his campaign for governor of California. The video, which was posted online by Martin Shkreli, allegedly shows Swallwell in an intimate setting with a woman identified as a sex worker. The Manhattan District Attorney's office is investigating the allegations, which also include an alleged sexual assault in 2024. The political fallout has been severe, with senior staffers, key endorsements withdrawn, and prominent Democratic allies publicly distancing themselves. Top House Democrats, including Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Chair of the House Democratic Caucus Pete Aguilar (D) and Whip Katherine Clark (D), have called for Swalworth to end his gubernatorial bid.
