Rep. Eric Swalwell denied allegations of rape and sexual assault in a social media post that was filmed Friday at the Beverly Hills mansion of his eccentric billionaire benefactor, The Post has learned.
Multiple sources confirmed that the video Swalwell recorded of his full-throated denial was taken from a room inside the 9,700-square-foot home of Stephen Cloobeck, who’s also been shacking up with an alleged honeytrapper accused of burglarizing the home of rich, older men in Los Angeles.
“A lot has been said about me today through anonymous allegations, and I thought it was important that you see and hear from me directly,” Swalwell said in the video posted Friday from Cloobeck’s mansion. “These allegations of sexual assault are flat out false.”
He added, “They have never happened. And I will fight them with everything that I have.”
Until Friday, Swalwell was the Democratic frontrunner in the California governor’s race, but his campaign has been in a free-fall since the allegations surfaced.
Within hours of the San Francisco Chronicle publishing a bombshell report of a former staffer accusing Swalwell of sexual assault, numerous elected officials and labor unions yanked their endorsements and fundraising operations were shuttered.

So it is like recording a rape denial video from Epstein’s island.
“Does he even have a California residence.”
He has given his lawyers address.
Why does “ always believe the women” never applies to Democrats?
POSes like this need to be exposed. I’m loving it.
Swalwell is cringe-worthy. From his 5-day hobo’s beard to his fruity no-tuck dress shirts, he just conjures up imaginings of bad breath and skid marks on his underwear. What sort of woman would want him to touch her?
Pretty sure Beverly Hills isn't anywhere near his Congressional district.
doesn’t make sense that a gazillionaire would shack up with a honeytrapper who robs old guys ...
