Swalwell Denies Allegations, Stays in California Governor Race

Rep. Eric Swalwell denies sexual assault allegations reported by the San Francisco Chronicle and says he will not drop out of the California governor race, vowing to defend himself. The Chronicle details alleged non-consensual encounters with a former staffer beginning in 2019, including explicit Snapchat messages, an attempted kiss, and a night the staffer says she cannot fully remember due to intoxication, plus a later encounter at a charity event. ABC7 notes the allegations have not been independently verified. The report sparked resignations within Swalwell’s campaign and drew pressure from rivals to drop out, with comments from Pelosi and Padilla highlighting the seriousness of the allegations.

Democrats say the DOJ illegally withheld materials, while Trump denies any wrongdoing and has not been charged. The disclosures come amid House Oversight scrutiny of Epstein-related files and follow Trump’s prior defamation judgments related to E. Jean Carroll.

Del Rio Moves to Arbitration Over Matlock Exit

Former Matlock actor David Del Rio has filed an arbitration claim against CBS Studios to challenge his firing from the CBS legal drama following sexual assault allegations involving an unnamed female cast member. He says evidence undermining the accusations wasn’t fully considered and will present new communications and materials that contradict prior public characterizations of the incident. His lawyer, Shawn Holley, says the matter should be resolved in the appropriate legal forum; CBS declined to comment. Del Rio had already filmed seven episodes of season two before being escorted off the set in October.
