众议员埃里克·斯沃威尔于2月21日在旧金山举行的2026年加州民主党州代表大会上发表讲话。
美国众议院道德委员会周一宣布，已针对针对众议员埃里克·斯沃威尔的不当行为指控启动调查。
此次调查消息公布之际，这位加州民主党议员正面临越来越多的审查。此前CNN和《旧金山纪事报》报道称，一名前工作人员指控斯沃威尔性侵，称两人当晚饮酒后，斯沃威尔在她无法表示同意的情况下与其发生性关系。斯沃威尔已于本周六暂停其加州州长竞选活动，目前面临被国会驱逐的呼声。
该委员会在一份声明中表示，已针对斯沃威尔“在履行职责或承担责任过程中违反《公职行为准则》或任何法律、规则、条例或其他适用行为标准”的指控展开调查，相关指控包括他可能实施了不当性行为，包括针对其监管下的雇员的行为。
该委员会表示，“仅就其正在调查这些指控并公开披露其审查工作这一事实本身，并不表明任何违规行为已发生。”
除性侵指控外，另外三名接受CNN采访的女性还指控了其他不当性行为，包括斯沃威尔主动发送露骨照片和低俗信息。
斯沃威尔已多次强烈否认性侵指控。
“致我的家人、幕僚、朋友和支持者，我为过去在判断力上犯下的错误深感抱歉，”他周日在X平台上发布暂停竞选的声明时写道。“我将对这些严重且虚假的指控进行抗辩——但这是我个人的抗争，而非竞选活动的一部分。”

The House Ethics Committee announced on Monday that it has opened an investigation into misconduct allegations against Rep. Eric Swalwell.
The news comes as the California Democrat is under increasing scrutiny after CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle reported that a former staffer accused him sexual assault, describing a night of drinking that ended with Swalwell having sex with her when she could not consent. Swalwell, who suspended his campaign for California governor this weekend, faces calls for expulsion from Congress.
The committee said in a statement that it has opened an investigation into allegations that Swalwell “violated the Code of Official Conduct or any law, rule, regulation, or other applicable standard of conduct in the performance of his duties or the discharge of his responsibilities, with respect to allegations that he may have engaged in sexual misconduct, including towards an employee working under his supervision.”
The panel stated that “the mere fact that it is investigating these allegations, and publicly disclosing its review, does not itself indicate that any violation has occurred.”
In addition to the allegation of sexual assault, three other women who spoke with CNN alleged other sexual misconduct, including that Swalwell sent unsolicited nude photos and graphic messages.
Swalwell has strongly and repeatedly denied allegations of sexual assault.
“To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past,” he posted Sunday on X in his announcement suspending his campaign. “I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.”
This is a developing story and will be updated.
