Eric Swalwell’s Lawyer Says His Client is Just Too ‘Busy’ to Answer Questions About Rape Allegations (VIDEO)
A lawyer for the disgraced far-left Rep. Eric Swalwell has said his client is too “busy” to answer questions about the flurry of rrape and sexual assault allegations against him.
The California Congressman, who was among the favorites to win the state’s upcoming gubernatorial election, was hit by numerous allegations of rape and sexual assault on Friday evening.
During an appearance on CNN, Swalwell’s lawyer, Elias Dabaie, said his client had more important things to do than respond directly to questions about the claims.
“Well, let me start by telling you that we take these allegations very seriously,” Dabaie began.
”The Congressman categorically denies any misconduct took place, and we intend to vindicate his rights in court.”
“So, your investigation is ongoing. Why isn’t he here, though, to answer those questions?” asked host Elex Michaelson.
“Well, he has a campaign to run,” Dabaie responded. “He’s busy.”
”He’s taking these allegations seriously. And, again, as he told you in that video, he’s spending time with his family and his wife and his friends, and that’s his choice.”

This comes after 4 women described sexual misconduct by Swalwell, including a former staffer who says he raped her.

In a video posted on X, Swalwell vowed to fight the allegations with “everything I have”.
“These allegations of sexual assault are flat false. They are absolutely false, they did not happen. They have never happened. And I will fight them with everything I have,” he said,.
“I do not suggest to you in any way that I am perfect or that I’m a saint. I have certainly made mistakes in judgement in my past.
”But those mistakes are between me and my wife and to her, I apologize deeply for putting her in this position.
”I also apologize to you if in any way, you have doubted your support for me. But I think you know who I am.”

Politico reported on Friday that Swalwell’s gubernatorial campaign is already imploding as a result of the allegations, with multiple staff resigning before the story broke.
Meanwhile, the majority of Swalwell’s supporters including California Senator Adam Schiff have pulled their endorsements and called on him to drop out the race.
