Powerhouse attorney Lisa Bloom has claimed she has more evidence tied to a rape allegation against Eric Swalwell—and said more alleged victims have come forward to her.
Bloom, who represents Lonna Drewes, spoke to Ashley Zavala on California Politics 360 where she discussed her client’s allegation that Swalwell drugged and raped her in 2018.
Last week, Drewes stepped forward with her accusations against Swalwell during an emotional press conference.
“I’m very proud to represent the brave Lonna Drewes,” Bloom said. Bloom said Drewes’ case has since been escalated to the special victims unit and the district attorney’s office.
She emphasized that Los Angeles County law enforcement is treating the matter very seriously—and reiterated her confidence in the case, saying, “There’s no question in my mind.”
Bloom also disclosed that Drewes is preparing to present a significant trove of evidence that has been stored away.
“She has some additional evidence she needs to get out of a storage unit, there’s some additional witness names, people she talked to after the incident,” Bloom said. “We are fully cooperating with the sheriff’s investigation.”

Looks like that story is about an Edmund Ford, Jr. Didn’t see any ties to Harold Ford, Jr. But I did just skim over it.
Any media organization placing any Ford on television for a comment should be banned from media outlet production and have its licenses revoked.
Sen. Gallego faces tough questions about his close friendship with Eric Swalwell

Edmund just got pinched on a laptops and required software scam with the school district. $20K a piece for a $500 laptop. The other brother ran the mess out of his garage, with the other brothers forcing the contracts thru the county commission and body politic.
Best buddy with the Fords. Memphis is shameless.
Well, she hasn’t released the Kraken yet, so there’s that…
I think she is Gloria Allred’s daughter.
The walls are closing in on bombshells....
Opinion - Eric Swalwell is what happens when special interests pick your congressman
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/opinion-eric-swalwell-happens-special-113000836.html
I cannot stand Swallwell, but I ain’t buying the drug and rape accusation. Sounds Blasey-Ford-y......or even Julie Swetnick “ Brett Kavanaugh was standing by the punch bowl at the DKE frat party, where I’d been drugged and raped in the past....using spiked punch.”.......
Or I was raped in the dressing room of Bergdorf Goodman store because I looked like Marla Maples.!!!!!
Some reporter admitted they knew about his actions for 10 years!
I have no doubt that Swalwell is a real sleeze bag and proven liar, and security risk. But I must ask myself, why did this come out years later and at a time his presence in the governors race would almost assure a Republican governor? In my mind unless convinced by great evidence that is “reasonable doubt.”
This has Nancy Pelosi written all over it.
