(Four women have come forward) ("California Sen. Adam Schiff, who ... had made calls pitching Swalwell to key labor unions, also called on Swalwell to leave the race...California Democratic Party Chair Rusty Hicks stopped short of calling for Swalwell to drop out")

Apparently Swalwell’s behavior was an open secret in CA politics.

We did some work on it but the victims went elsewhere, I don't know what to tell you. There's no bragging going on here. It was an open secret, which is also a secret until the victims decide to step forward.
