Rep Luna warns of potential jail time for Eric Swalwell following serious criminal allegations

Rep. Luna said Eric Swalwell may face "serious criminal problems" after his resignation from Congress amid mounting sexual misconduct allegations.


Rep Luna warns of potential jail time for Eric Swalwell following serious criminal allegations

"I do think that he has serious criminal problems on his hands, and I do think that he might end up in jail," Luna said Monday.

Lonna Drewes said she believes he "drugged" her drink on their third meeting, noting during the alleged assault she couldn't move her arms or legs.

Luna argued Swalwell's behavior was well known on Capitol Hill and accused the media of not reporting on it more closely before the latest allegations.

"What I will say is that many people on the Hill knew about this. Many reporters have come forward even in talking to me saying that they had heard stories about this," Luna said.

"We urge survivors and anyone with knowledge of these allegations to contact our Special Victims Division at 212-335-9373," an office spokesperson said. "Our specially trained prosecutors, investigators, and counselors are well-equipped to help you in a trauma-informed, survivor-centered manner."

Fox News Digital reached out to Swalwell's congressional office, as well as his gubernatorial campaign, for comment on Luna's remarks.

In a statement posted Monday, Swalwell vowed to fight the "serious, false allegations made against me."

The attorney for Drewes argued Swalwell's withdrawal from the gubernatorial race and resignation from Congress is not "enough," and said her client will file a police report.
