Swalwell’s California bid rattled by new sexual misconduct allegations and staff resignations

Rep. Eric Swalwell’s California gubernatorial bid faced a blow as multiple senior staffers resigned amid a new sexual misconduct allegation from a former aide, which Swalwell has denied and responded to with a cease-and-desist in at least one case; the turmoil culminated in the cancellation of a town hall, arriving after earlier momentum from labor endorsements and a pro-Swalwell super PAC and amid renewed scrutiny over past ties to a Chinese operative.
