Eric Swalwell Wasn't at DNC Event Where Accuser Claims Misconduct Occurred
Photos show Rep. Eric Swalwell wasn't at a 2016 Democratic National Committee event where political commentator Nomiki Konst claims he made her "uncomfortable." The evidence contradicts her allegation that Swalwell touched her hands inappropriately during the meeting.
Photos obtained by TMZ show Rep. Eric Swalwell was not present at a 2016 Democratic National Committee meeting where political commentator Nomiki Konst alleges he made her "uncomfortable."
Konst claimed Swalwell brought her prosecco and became "touchy-feely," touching her hands during the DNC gathering that included former interim DNC chair Donna Brazile and other officials. She described the alleged incident as happening "out in the open" at the meeting.
The photo evidence directly contradicts Konst's timeline and location claims. Swalwell's lawyers have "categorically and unequivocally" denied all sexual misconduct allegations against him.
This is one of several accusations against the California congressman. Four women have accused him of misconduct ranging from sexual harassment to rape. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office launched an investigation into the allegations.
The accusations have created fury among some senior Democrats and contributed to what CNN described as Swalwell's "sudden downfall" in Congress.
This challenges one of several misconduct allegations against Swalwell that led to his political downfall. It shows how accusations can spread even when basic facts don't check out, affecting both accusers' credibility and public trust.
The Manhattan DA's investigation continues. More scrutiny of other allegations against Swalwell is likely.
