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.

Eric's California residence?
Couldn’t happen to a nicer POS.

Nice catch. Does he even have a California residence. I believe he listed a Maryland home as his "primary" residence on his mortgage application. That makes him a Maryland Man. Maybe Chris Van Hollen will come to his rescue.
AOC, Jasmine Crockett, and Bernie Sanders are also in that mix.
Idiocracy isn't just a movie.
You forgot to add the dipshit mayor of NYC to your list.
Agreed.
Good point.
