Eric Swalwell, the disgraced former Congressman, is still using Snapchat as a channel for private communications despite it being the app that led to the end of his political career.
The revelation came Friday in a report from the New York Times detailing Swalwell’s use of social media.
“Mr. Swalwell is still using Snapchat. As recently as this week,” the Times wrote. “Mr. Swalwell communicated directly with a former intern on the app and asked her why she had taken a screenshot of their chat history.”
The Times said the details were provided to them through images, though they said the new messages were not sexual in nature.
At least six women have publicly or anonymously accused Swalwell of misconduct spanning sexual assault allegations, inappropriate workplace conduct, and unsolicited explicit communications, including claims involving Snapchat exchanges that allegedly included sexual messages and explicit images.
One of the central allegations comes from a former staffer who was 21 at the time and worked closely with Swalwell while he was a 38-year-old member of Congress.
She said she helped plan events, arranged his travel, and drove him around his district, and that he increasingly brought her into his political orbit by praising her work, including meetings with political figures.
According to her account, the professional relationship shifted into private messaging on Snapchat, where she alleges Swalwell began sending sexual comments and explicit images, including photos of himself.

I wonder if that dipstick could ever actually feel disgraced.
He cannot give up his former life. He was a shooting star in the leftward firmament who quickly faded and now faces obscurity if he is lucky, infamy if he receives justice.
Not rapists tho'
Toxic narcissistic sexual predator behavior.
Still taunting his victims.
Asking a staffer why they had taken a screen shot of their conversation sounds a little threatening. The correct response would be “None of your business. Quit writing me.”
So now is when we are going to see just how mercenary and backstabbing Dem Congressional staffers are. The Dem collective has turned on sleazy scumbag Swalwell so even if teh Snapchat message is just “Hi, how are you?”, the staffer is going to spin it as something insidious and try to leverage it into a New York Times exclusive with her as the brave victim complete with an Annie Leibovitz photoshoot.
Snapchat
Who uses Snapchat? I thought they went out of business years ago after they cashed out with their IPO.
