Trump Oval Office
President Trump is now speaking out about the major sex assault and r*pe allegations that have essentially ended former Rep. Eric Swalwell’s (D-China) political career.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Swalwell is facing explosive accusations of sexual misconduct from several women, including a former staffer who claims he r*ped her twice.
The allegations of the former staffer, who was the first to come forward, were initially reported by the San Francisco Chronicle.
These accusations come just weeks before California’s June primary and prompted immediate calls from Democrat leaders, including Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff, for Swalwell to drop out of the race.
Seeing no way out of the crisis, Swalwell ended his gubernatorial campaign on Sunday night.
He then abruptly resigned from Congress Monday night.
If charged and convicted, Swalwell is likely facing years behind bars.
As The Daily Mail notes, Swalwell was the Democratic frontrunner in the 2026 California gubernatorial primary to succeed Gavin Newsom. What an incredible fall.
Trump finally talked about the scandal after days of silence in an interview with the Daily Mail on Thursday.
“We’ll see what happens,” Trump said. “He’s a sleazebag. Always has been. He’s a long timer, and he’s a bad guy.”
“I don’t know anything about the charges, but he’s a bad guy,” the President added.
“He’s always been a bad guy; he’s a corrupt politician, and everyone knows it, so it’s happening to him, and we’ll see what happens. Right? Let him go defend himself.”
Trump’s feelings about Swalwell are certainly understandable, especially considering he served as an impeachment manager during Trump’s second trial back in 2021.
When Swalwell does try to defend himself, he will be all alone. He should be especially worried because his own party has deemed him a damaging burden.
Democrats tend to give their own the Mafia treatment when things go south for them.
