The hits keep coming for disgraced California Senator Eric Swalwell, with a new complaint alleging he was using his government office to boost his side hustle.
The conservative watchdog, Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT), asked the Department of Justice to investigate allegations that Swalwell, “was personally pitching Findraiser, an artificial intelligence political fundraising tool, to Democratic lawmakers, staff and campaigns,” according to a Fox News exclusive.
Swalwell had reportedly been facing these allegations before multiple accusations of sexual misconduct surfaced, forcing the dirty Dem to ditch his bid for California governor.
Yardena Wolf, who was chief of staff for Swalwell’s obsolete gubernatorial campaign, is named in FACT’s complaint regarding Findraiser.
News outlet NOTUS was on to Swalwell’s game in March, alleging fellow Democrats Adam Schiff and Swalwell’s bestie Ruben Gallego were using Findraiser while Wolf and Swalwell were “peddling the s— out of” Findraiser to numerous Democrats on Capitol Hill, one Dem operative said.
Another operative told NOTUS that being pitched by Swalwell or his staff about Findraiser had been “surprisingly universal” in certain Democrat circles.
Every time and everywhere you look at Eric Swalwell closely, there is something shady or illegal going on!

“Public office is a position of trust, and no individual should be able to skirt accountability for potential abuses of power simply by resigning,” FACT’s Executive Director Kendra Arnold said in a press release.
“The reported actions using an official position to promote a personal business and potentially misusing government resources raise serious legal concerns that warrant a thorough investigation by the Department of Justice. Ensuring accountability in cases like this is essential to maintaining public confidence in government.”
Neither Swalwell’s legal team nor the Justice Department responded to Fox Digital about the latest allegations.
“While lawmakers on Capitol Hill are legally allowed to earn passive income through businesses they own, House rules do prohibit lawmakers and their staff from using their ‘political influence, the influence of (their) position … to make pecuniary gains.’” Fox News reported.
Legislators and staffers are instructed to avoid “even an appearance” of using political power for financial gain, according to a 2022 House Ethics manual, Fox reported.
