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.”

And knew it. And didn't care because he was a solid Trump Hater™.
How does one become a powerhouse attorney is there a credential for that?
Touche!
Yes, the specific degree or credential is "POS".
[2018]
May I speak to Majority Leader Pelosi please, I’ve been raped by a Democratic Congressman.
Facepalm. This is now about to enter the theater of the absurd.
This sudden and overwhelming abundance of evidence almost certainly means EVERBODY knew about Swalwell and refused to say anything as long as he maintained some political usefulness, just like the brain-dead Biden. I actually don't care what happens to Swalwell, I want to see all the Democrat big-wigs called out. Make them profess to America that they had no idea. Pffft...
And if the DNC didn’t want him siphoning off votes from whomever they’re backing, the MSM wouldn’t give her the time of day.
Could be the bank account.

She gained attention for briefly advising Harvey Weinstein in 2017, a decision she later apologized for, citing it as a mistake. Bloom also represented women accusing Donald Trump of sexual misconduct during the 2016 election.

She gained attention for briefly advising Harvey Weinstein in 2017, a decision she later apologized for, citing it as a mistake. Bloom also represented women accusing Donald Trump of sexual misconduct during the 2016 election.
Bloom received a bachelor’s degree from UCLA, where she graduated Phi Beta Kappa and was National College Debate Champion. She received her J.D. degree from Yale Law School in 1986.
Amid a series of sexual abuse allegations against powerful men in entertainment and media, and following a BuzzFeed report detailing a sexual harassment settlement [allegedly] paid out of Representative John Conyers’ office budget, Bloom represented Marion Brown, who spoke to BuzzFeed off the record and later came forward publicly to allege harassment by Conyers.
In 2017 Bloom represented three women accusing then-Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly of sexual harassment. Jehmu Greene, a television commentator who had appeared on Fox News, also approached Bloom with sexual harassment allegations against O’Reilly, although she ultimately declined Bloom’s services. One of Bloom’s clients, Wendy Walsh, filed the complaint that led Fox News’ parent company, 21st Century Fox, to initiate an investigation that resulted in O’Reilly’s dismissal and the end of his eponymous program.
During the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Bloom offered to represent four women who alleged sexual misconduct by then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. Two of these women came forward publicly with their allegations, including Jill Harth and Lisa Boyne.
On November 2, 2016, Bloom canceled a press conference with the unnamed client, saying the client was scared because of death threats. According to Bloom, after this press conference, multiple donors contacted her with offers to cover accusers’ relocation and security. Bloom felt an obligation to relay the offers to her clients. The Virginia woman said that donors had offered her as much as $750,000, but that she declined the offer. In a 2017 report, The New York Times identified the donors who contacted Bloom as David Brock’s American Bridge 21st Century, which offered $200,000, and Susie Tompkins Buell, who offered $500,000.
Following a controversial 2017 photo shoot in which comedienne Kathy Griffin clenched a severed and bloodied mask that resembled the face of President Donald Trump, Bloom held a joint press conference with Griffin, then her client, to address the controversy.
On May 1, 2020, Bloom posted on Twitter that although she believed Tara Reade was assaulted by the former vice president Joe Biden, she would still support Biden.
On August 15, 2024, the Department of Justice announced that Lisa Bloom and Braden Pollock, senior managers at The Bloom Firm, agreed to pay $274,000 to settle allegations under the False Claims Act. The settlement resolves claims that the firm falsely certified the use of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan funds for eligible payroll expenses, while actually using the funds to pay ineligible employees. The Bloom Firm will pay $204,200.34, with Bloom and Pollock each paying $35,384.49.

“California had a rapist as a representative? Sounds about right”
And Arizona has a Senator who is / was a Swallowswell wingman who has some question marks about him.
Two CNN interviews.
Bloom in 2009.
Swalwell is despicable. However am very tired of posts that boldly announce that so and so is about to make a bombshell prounouncent very soon that will shake the world. Can any Freeper cite an example when such a bombshell prediction actually resulted in a real revelation?
“This sudden and overwhelming abundance of evidence almost certainly means EVERBODY knew about Swalwell and refused to say anything as long as he maintained some political usefulness, just like the brain-dead Biden. I actually don’t care what happens to Swalwell, I want to see all the Democrat big-wigs called out. Make them profess to America that they had no idea.”
Twas the ghost of Jeffery Epstein that made them keep quiet.
Effing demonicRATS.
I can still remember a time when we would send rapists, even democrat ones, to prison.
You mean, “regret is not rape” goes a bit deeper?
and you can bet that Ruben Gallego was involved, he was in that room during the sex orgy
