Former Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., resigned from Congress and ended his bid for California governor this month after multiple women accused him of sexual assault and misconduct, allegations he has denied.

He shared a statement on social media, saying he was “deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past.”

“I will fight the serious, false allegations made against me,” Swalwell added. “However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make.”

In the days following his resignation, additional scrutiny has emerged over Swalwell’s use of campaign funds. Authorities in Los Angeles have also opened an investigation into at least one allegation, as the former congressman faces mounting legal and political pressure.

Here are three key developments surrounding the accusations against Swalwell.
