A Democratic activist has claimed that a “shocking” number of women are prepared to accuse Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) of harassment, allegations that are circulating online but have not been substantiated by official complaints or confirmed investigations.
The claims surfaced in recent days through social media posts and political commentary, with some accounts alleging inappropriate relationships between Swalwell and younger staffers or interns.
Cheyenne Hunt — a lawyer, one-time congressional candidate and executive director of Gen-Z for Change — revealed that she has been working with an unspecified number of women set to accuse Swalwell in multiple X posts early Monday morning. Swalwell is currently a leading candidate in the crowded race to succeed Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
“I got involved because the first victim who approached me is a close friend, but when I saw that there were others who’s experiences fit the same pattern of manipulation and abuse of power, I knew I couldn’t stay silent,” Hunt wrote in her X thread. She specified that the allegations concern “DMs [direct messages] and Snapchat messages” and range “from uncomfortable comments to potentially criminal conduct.”
The Gen Z activist also claimed that Swalwell was targeting “employees, interns, and fans” and acted “as a mentor just to exploit that power.”
Swalwell’s office did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
As of now, no formal complaints, criminal charges, or confirmed investigations tied to harassment allegations against Swalwell have been publicly reported.
Swalwell has previously faced political controversy, most notably:
- His past association with a suspected Chinese intelligence operative, which resulted in an FBI briefing but no charges or findings of wrongdoing
- Ongoing political and legal disputes tied to his gubernatorial campaign
However, those issues are separate from the current, unverified harassment claims.
But the situation is still developing and could change if new details emerge.
