Swalwell’s fall from front-runner to forced exit over misconduct allegations

Rep. Eric Swalwell’s bid for California’s governorship collapsed within days as sexual misconduct allegations surfaced, prompting swift backlash from House Democrats led by Nancy Pelosi, who urged him to resign from Congress. In a rare, bipartisan response, lawmakers sought parity by pressing to hold Gonzales to similar accountability. The episode ended Swalwell’s 13-year congressional career and his gubernatorial campaign, highlighting a renewed emphasis on accountability in Congress.

Odey abandons libel suit against FT, acknowledging public-interest defence would prevail

Crispin Odey has dropped his £79m libel claim against the Financial Times, admitting the paper would likely win its public-interest defence over decades of sexual misconduct allegations; the FT had indicated about 15 women were willing to testify. The decision comes after the FT disclosed evidence it planned to rely on and a three-week Upper Tribunal hearing over Odey’s FCA ban, during which he admitted to sexually assaulting a former employee in 2005. Odey now faces substantial legal costs as the case ends.

Pressure mounts for Swalwell to exit California governor bid amid sexual misconduct allegations

Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell faces growing calls to withdraw from California's open gubernatorial race after multiple women alleged sexual misconduct, including an incident in 2019. Swalwell denies the claims and says he will defend himself with facts, while losing endorsements from prominent Democrats (Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi) and labor unions such as the California Teachers Association. The scandal comes as a crowded primary tests the race weeks before ballots go out, with Gov. Gavin Newsom urging a serious investigation.
