Disgraced ex-Rep. Eric Swalwell’s zombie congressional campaign has dwindled to just over $11,000 after he coughed up another $50,000 to celebrity defense attorney Sara Azari and refunded nearly $190,000 to donors following his epic career collapse following sexual assault allegations.
The details were documented this week in new federal campaign filings and come as California ethics investigators continue probing more than $300,000 in payments made to Azari from Swalwell’s failed gubernatorial campaign — raising fresh questions about the disgraced Democrat’s mounting legal bills as his political career continues to unravel.
Swalwell’s federal campaign filings, which list him as treasurer, paint the picture of a committee rapidly running out of money.
The committee refunded $189,681 to contributors during the second quarter of the year while spending another $106,427 on operating expenses, leaving the once well-funded operation with barely enough cash to cover another month of recurring bills.
Swalwell also reported $17,893.35 in previously unreported or uncashed checks. He admitted in a separate filing to the Federal Election Commission that nobody still involved with the campaign knows who received the money — or what it was for.
The Post previously reported on Swalwell’s 100-plus booze delivery charges on the campaign’s dime.
“We have been unable to determine who these checks were written to, for how much, and for what purpose,” the committee wrote in a filing with the Federal Election Commission, adding that the campaign’s former treasurer died in 2023 and took the records with him. The campaign said the entries were made simply to reconcile and close long-abandoned bank accounts.

“ adding that the campaign’s former treasurer died in 2023 and took the records with him.”
He took the records to Hell?
L
AS SOMEONE WHO HAS DONE ACCOUNTING FOR OVER 69 YEARS, PLEASE EXPLAIN: “THE FORMER TREASURER DIED & TOOK THE RECORDS WITH HIM”
The ultimate blame lies on the idiots that voted for this asshole, in the San Francisco Bay area.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer douchebag.
$50k on a lawyer?.......what’s that gonna get him, like a week of representation?
Those jackals are expensive....and a celebrity one at that.
Taco boy is circling the bowl fast.
The left has the gift of gab. That’s what gets them past the voters. Let’s not forget John Edwards. BJ was too big to fall.
DEMOCRATS LIE.....period.
Birds of a Feather.
Wouldn’t surprise me one bit...,🤔🤔🤔
Oh, I can think of plenty more. He won't spend a day in jail, but he will be broke when it's all over with.
So was the swimmer.
“Swalwell’s federal campaign filings, which list him as treasurer,...”
He’s been treasurer since 2023? I think I see the problem here.
So much of the WDC scene is a moral, swirling cesspool.
Bingo.
This is clawback by the Democrat donors. It's for the money but primarily to warn other candidates not to cross their donors.
It’s a shame he couldn’t tap the secretive congressional hush money slush fund to pay for his lawyer.
EC
But I’ve always been told “you can’t take it with you.”
Let me second this.....
Swallwell: “My campaign’s former treasurer died in 2023 and
took the records with him, so I had to make stuff up to look honest.”
