WASHINGTON - California Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell has formally resigned from Congress as new accusers allege that he raped and sexually assaulted them.
Now, D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro told FOX 5 in an exclusive interview that she wants to hear from any potential victims in the District.
Big picture view
What many may not know about D.C. and Pirro's office, in particular, is that she serves as both the federal prosecutor and the equivalent of a local district attorney.
She's concerned, given the recent victims who continue to come forward accusing Swalwell of rape and sexual misconduct, that there may be more victims here in the district.
"It's just not fair, and you would think at some point it would stop, and it's not stopping, but there is information in this District, and we need to have people come forward," Pirro said.
There is a hotline available for victims or witnesses to call with information, and you can remain anonymous.
The backstory
Swalwell was elected to Congress in 2012 and has maintained a residence in D.C. for at least the past five years.
Pirro says she suspects, given the length of time that he has been here, coupled with the details coming out of recent allegations, that she would not be surprised if there were victims in D.C.
On Tuesday morning, a woman in California who is now the fifth alleged victim came forward claiming that Swalwell raped her in 2018.

The purpose of these allegations was to move Swallow out of the running for governor, but the idea was to then let it all die down so as to not embarrass the rest of the party.
Unfortunately for the Dems, this is exploding, and the investigations may well turn up connections to other powerful/important politicians.
And there’s always the possibility that Swallow will try to take everybody down with him and sing like a bird. That would be entertaining.
Oh, yeah. Might even go after Steyer.
Anybody who votes for a democrat gotta’ be crazy. How is a democrat voter going to trust that the one they vote for is going to deliver the government money to them?

If he is not locked up this is all virtue signaling theater — like Bondi did for over a year.
Janine Pirro hopefully started with collection of hard evidence (not meant as cheap wordplay). Perhaps he used apps where images disappear quickly, but the internet is forever. Swalwell reportedly sent his young employee pictures of his anatomy. Odds that this was a one-time occurence = nil.
Whether the authority rests with the DoJ or the Congressional Ethics Committee, someone needs to seize Swalwell’s phones and computer devices, and subpoena his phone records from service providers. He’s likely tried to purge the evidence by now, but this would be a way to find communications trails to many exploited girls, young women, sex workers, whatever. (I’m not suggesting doxing by the public — just investigation by legitimate authorities).
