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.
The Farter
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.
I would bet on at least 75% of the U.S. House & Senate being in that category, and I’m not so sure of the other 25%.
9700sf? Looks more like 9750
Fartwell bump
YES, and so many more “elected”? representatives.
This guy, Cloobeck, is running for California governor also!!? What a complete freakshow.
“Does he even have a California residence.”
Most likely not. There’s an investigator who’s on Newsmax often whose hobby it is to dig into pols’ corruption. I think he’s the one who broke the story about Leticia James’ real estate fraud with the house in VA.
He has been investigating Swalwell and says that his primary residence is not in CA. Sometimes he stays at a relative’s home when he’s there. His primary residence is in DC.
I think he makes a great candidate. Perfect actually.
Conservatives being stupid and helping the democrats stop the leftist vote splitting that would actually help someone more conservative win.
Shut up. Support Swalwell.
So this billionaire Cloobeck is a timeshare mogul, engaged to a much younger serial thief, and is the main supporter of Eric Swalwell for governor? The douchebaggery is off the charts here.
Funny how the Dems set the stage and told us to believe even the liars they set against or side....but it’s telling that Swalwell’s campaign staff has spoken out against him and NONE of them have spoken out in support of him...he finally caught up with himself...
I’m innocent, I only had sex with a Chinese spy!!
You lay with dogs.....you get fleas.
I never liked him and even hated him once trump was elected. He’s been so nasty to Trump that I can’t even care an ounce this is happening.
