CNN Nukes Swalwell From Orbit
CNN has published a new report detailing allegations from more than a dozen women who say former Congressman Eric Swalwell made them uncomfortable through inappropriate messages and advances over the past decade. While no physical assaults were confirmed, some women described efforts by Swalwell to lure them into private settings, and several saved digital evidence of his communications. Swalwell's attorney denies any illegal behavior, but CNN reports that Swalwell contacted at least one woman after the network spoke with his lawyer, raising questions about his conduct.
