Billionaire kicks Eric Swalwell out of his mansion and wants $1M back after heinous sex allegations
NY Post ^ | 4/12/26 | Josh Koehn

Lefty billionaire Stephen Cloobeck dramatically cut ties with Eric Swalwell and revealed he has kicked him out of his mansion — hours before the congressman dropped his run for California governor.

“I am no longer supporting Eric,” Cloobeck told The Post in an exclusive interview. “F—ing tell everyone I’m a libertarian. F— you, Democrat Party. I’m a libertarian now.”

The ugly break-up between the timeshare mogul and Bay Area congressman — who pulled out of the governor’s race late Sunday — marks yet another stunning point in Swalwell’s cratering political career.

Following public allegations Friday of rape, sexual assault and other sexual misconduct made by several women who knew or worked for Swalwell, the Bay Area congressman lost most of his endorsements, he’s potentially facing expulsion from Congress and become the subject of a criminal investigation.

Cloobeck spent more than $1 million supporting Swalwell’s candidacy, and the embattled congressman filmed his denial video Friday from inside the billionaire’s palatial Beverly Hills mansion.

Cloobeck confirmed Swalwell was no longer staying with him and the billionaire’s alleged honeytrapper fiancée, who has been accused of burglarizing the homes of other rich, old men in Los Angeles.

“I have a lot of people who stay at my house,” Cloobeck said with a laugh. “I built a gorgeous place, my dream home, I relish it, and I’m a very generous man. I’m very thoughtful and I’m very kind.”

He added that he would need to talk with his attorney to see if can claw back the $1 million he gave an independent committee supporting Swalwell.

People who describe themselves as thoughtful and kind, usually are not.

All staged - They need to cull the field of Democrats so they can consolidate votes. The Republican is getting uncomfortable close to winning.

Swalwell probably attracted the attention of Adva Lavie, or vice versa.

Representative Anna Paulina Luna, from Florida, has already put forth a motion that Swalwell be expelled from Congress.

Swalwell’s done. Couldn't happen to a bigger piece of excrement.

Sadly, the entire Democrat Party should be done. They've been making such a stink about Epstein and the hushed rumors that Israel used Epstein to get dirt on politicians in the U.S. to bend them to its will; Well, they just did the very same thing with Swalwell. Nasty video released and viola! He's dropped out of the race. A real life demonstration of, “They always accuse others of what they're guilty of doing”. I'm not taking up for the putrid Swalwell, I'm saying stopping with him is extremely short sighted.

LOL, this is funny stuff. I loved how the rich guy says he’s a Libertarian now. So many Libertarians are just dims too ashamed to admit it just like this guy.

Also very humble and self-deprecating.
