Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell has been accused of violating immigration and employment law to keep his illegal live-in Brazilian nanny in the country, according to a pair of recently filed complaints.
When his South American babysitter’s temporary work authorization was about to expire in 2022, he and wife Brittany Swalwell lied to the feds to keep Amanda Barbosa working for them, a new complaint filed Tuesday with the Department of Labor claimed.
Another complaint, filed to the Department of Homeland security in February and previously unreported, accuses Swalwell of paying the nanny under the table with campaign funds for a period of two years when she didn’t hold valid work authorization.
“Barbosa appears in numerous social media photos with the Swalwell family throughout 2023 and 2024, indicating continued close association and ongoing childcare responsibilities despite the absence of known lawful work authorization,” the complaint to DHS, dated Feb. 16, alleged.
The embattled California gubernatorial hopeful first hired Barbosa, 33, in the fall of 2021 to look after his three children.
Barbosa had come to the US from Rio de Janeiro in January 2021 on an au pair visa. She was paid $3,914 in campaign funds that year, according to an analysis of Federal Election Commission data by The Post.
She continued working for the Golden State politician as a live-in nanny the next year, receiving $46,930 in campaign funds in 2022, FEC records show.

A wave of sexual assault accusations against Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) hit on Friday. In the time since, a number in the media and political spheres have claimed that they knew all along that the California congressman was at best, a pest — and at worst, involved in behavior that might be criminal — but never went public with that information.
Local reporter Steven Tavares, author of the East Bay Insider, said that he had been covering Swalwell for more than a decade — beginning when he was just a member of the Dublin City Council — and that he and others had been well aware of Swalwell’s proclivities for years.

Hard to imagine. Very hard.
But even if a guy was going to pay his wife a salary to be a wife and mother wouldn’t you make those payments in cash? And pay the nanny on the books so it doesn’t look crooked.
It’s weird and bassackwards dumb.
