Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell has publicly addressed allegations of rape and sexual assault, categorically rejecting them as 'absolutely false.'
Swalwell, a California congressman, expressed regret to his wife for 'mistakes in judgment' that implied infidelity, while maintaining that these were distinct from the allegations.
He apologized to his wife for putting her in this position, stating that 'those mistakes are between me and my wife.'
The allegations against Swalwell include a claim of rape by a former staff member, as well as unsolicited explicit messages and unwelcome advances from three other women.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries described the allegations as 'incredibly disturbing' and called for an investigation, insisting that Swalwell should terminate his campaign.
