A new Swalwell accuser has broken her silence for the first time, revealing how she luckily escaped the now-former Democrat congressman’s attempts to seduce her.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Eric Swalwell (D-China) is facing explosive accusations of sexual misconduct from several women, including a former staffer who claims he ra*ed her twice.
The allegations of the former staffer, who was the first to come forward, were initially reported by the San Francisco Chronicle.
While speaking with CBS’s Nancy Cordes on Tuesday alongside fellow Swalwell accuser Ally Sammarco, Annika Albrecht revealed her own harrowing experience with the former congressman.
Albrecht explained that while she was in college, Swalwell offered to stay in touch and mentor her after meeting with her student group in Washington, DC.
“That was an incredibly generous offer that I felt very lucky to have,” she said.
Swalwell then created a group chat on Snapchat with all the students and later added Albrecht as a friend on the messaging app.
Confused, Albrecht then asked the other students if Swalwell added them as friends, and they said no. Even more creepily, she was the only woman in the meeting.
Swalwell started out talking politics to her, but then his messages turned seductive and dark.
“Ultimately, it reached a point where he invited me to a hotel to meet him,” Albrecht said. “It was very clear what the connotation was.”
“At that point, I completely stopped responding.”

Albrecht later added that she got lucky.
“What I keep thinking back to is lucky I am that I didn’t go to that hotel,” Albrecht said.
“For me, justice won’t be until he can’t ever harm a woman ever again, and he has faced the consequences for the women that he has harmed,” she added.
Justice may soon be on the way. TGP notes that both the House Ethics Committee and the Manhattan District Attorney have launched an investigation into Swalwell.
In an attempt to avoid accountability, Swalwell abruptly resigned from Congress Monday night.
But he should remain worried, especially because his own party has deemed him expendable.
