The woman also told CNN that Swalwell raped her during the 2024 incident in a New York City hotel.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"697\" data-end=\"922\">Swalwell has strongly denied the allegations, calling them \u201cabsolutely false,\u201d and has vowed to fight the claims. However, several prominent Democrats have reportedly urged him to withdraw from the California governor\u2019s race.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"924\" data-end=\"1078\">The woman, who has not been publicly identified by the <em data-start=\"979\" data-end=\"990\">Chronicle<\/em> or CNN, was quoted as saying she was too intoxicated on both occasions to give consent.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1080\" data-end=\"1169\">CNN also reported that three additional women have accused Swalwell of sexual misconduct.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1171\" data-end=\"1339\">The Manhattan District Attorney\u2019s Office has urged anyone with information about the allegations to contact its Special Victims Division as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1341\" data-end=\"1661\">Florida Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna said on X that she plans to introduce a motion to expel Swalwell from Congress. Speaking on Fox News, she said it would be unacceptable for him to remain in Congress if he withdraws from the governor\u2019s race, adding that she will file the disciplinary motion next week.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1663\" data-end=\"1974\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Swalwell has suggested the timing of the allegations is politically motivated, coming ahead of California\u2019s June primary.
