Former staffers of California gubernatorial candidate Eric Swalwell have called on him to resign following sexual assault allegations against him, calling for him to leave politics. The allegations, which have been made public by four women, include a former aide who alleges he raped her. The Department of Homeland security has also launched an investigation into claims that Swalw kept his live-in Brazilian nanny in the US illegally. The scandal has led to a bitter fight in Congress, with Republicans pushing to oust him and Democrats planning revenge attacks on GOPers with similar scandals. The accusations have led to an end to Swalway's political career and the resignation of close political allies, including fellow congressmen who supported him.
