Eric Swalwell has retreated from public view after being hit with horrific allegations that he sexually assaulted multiple women — issuing vehement denials on social media but avoiding the limelight since he ended his campaign for governor and resigned from Congress in disgrace.
Swalwell was booted from billionaire ex-pal Stephen Cloobeck’s mansion Sunday, where he filmed a defiant video calling the sexual assault allegations “flat out false.”
Mail was seen piling up at Swalwell’s now-deserted Washington, DC office Tuesday after a wave of staff resignations within the congressman’s office, which was still emblazoned with signage reading, “We stand with Ukraine” and “Am Yisrael Chi.”
Swalwell has not responded to The Post’s requests for comment.
Swalwell, through attorney Sara Azari, issued another defiant statement Tuesday slamming the allegations against him as a “political hit job” after a second woman, Lonna Drewes, claimed he raped her in a West Hollywood hotel in a bombshell press conference.
No one answered the door at Swalwell’s claimed residence in Livermore, Calif., after he was first accused of sexually assaulting a former staffer on Friday.
The husband and father of three has a $1.2 million family home in Washington, DC, but claimed a Livermore address linked to a political ally as his California residence during his ill-fated guberatorial bid.
Livermore neighbors previously told The Post they’d never seen Swalwell in the area, though he racked up charges at hotels in San Francisco and Pleasanton.
Swalwell’s home Washington, DC was the target of a mortgage fraud probe after federal officials alleged he falsely claimed it as his primary residence when securing loans.
The globetrotting disgraced rep has traveled frequently, popping up bleary-eyed on a yacht in St. Tropez in 2022 and on a high-priced junket in Doha with pal Sen. Ruben Gallego in 2021.
