Exclusive | Sleazy Eric Swalwell kept collecting cash aft...
Josh Koehn, · 2026-04-25 · via New York Post

Rape and sexual assault allegations didn’t stop major political players from continuing to shower Eric Swalwell in cash as the disgraced ex-congressman’s career collapsed, The Post can reveal.

New campaign filings show that Swalwell installed himself as treasurer for the defunct campaign, giving him full control of a $4 million money pot despite suspending his campaign for California governor and resigning from Congress after allegations of rape and sexual assault.

Swalwell continued to aggressively hit up donors for cash after his alleged sleazy behavior exploded into public view, raking in more than $190,000 even after multiple women leveled horrifying accusations against the congressman.

Among the unbothered donors were a major labor union, special interest PACs and an ally of Gov. Gavin Newsom who serves on the board of directors for the High-Speed Rail Authority.

Campaign finance records show Swalwell — who has denied allegations of criminal behavior that first went public April 10 — received $39,200 checks on April 13 from California Dairies Inc., Greater Anesthesia Service and PAC, UFCW Western States Council and real estate developer Jeff Worthe, who was appointed last year to the board for Newsom’s non-existent high speed train.

Also on April 13, Sutter East Bay Medical Group gave $30,000 while DLA Piper’s PAC gave $5,000. San Francisco arts philanthropist Kay Kimpton dropped in $5,000 on April 10, the same day allegations broke.

The shameless pol’s cash grab included a text blast sent at 11 a.m. on April 10 — just hours before the San Francisco Chronicle published horrifying allegations that he sexually assaulted a former staffer while she was too intoxicated to consent.

The campaign was already aware of the allegations, per reports. (CNN would report more allegations from several women later in the day.)

Swalwell claimed in the text that “MAGA allies” were trying to “end my political future because they know I’m the only one who can take down this corrupt administration.”

“While Kash Patel tries to get revenge on me for going after Trump, I’m fighting for the same things I always have: truth, accountability and justice,” Swalwell wrote in the desperate text.

He added, “Unlike them, I have nothing to hide.”

Swalwell ended up hiding out that same night in the palatial Beverly Hills mansion of billionaire benefactor Stephen Cloobeck, who would end up kicking out the shamed politician.

“I was with my counsel, and we had a chat with him. I just told him: ‘You busted the trust,’” Cloobeck told The Post.

He added that he said to Swalwell: “I’m shocked, I’m disturbed and get the f—k out of here.” 

Swalwell’s movements have been a mystery in the days since the scandal broke, as his congressional and campaign staffers turned their backs on him en masse. 

Meanwhile, his wife and children were recently spotted vacationing in the hyper-exclusive El Dorado Beach Club — a members-only club where Swalwell’s estranged billionaire backer Cloobeck has a $45 million villa.

Campaign records show Eric Swalwell quickly pulled back on travel in the immediate aftermath of the April 10 allegations, canceling flights and recouping at least $4,643.07 in refunds over three days. 

The campaign received more than $2,000 back from Delta Air Lines on April 10, followed by multiple reimbursements totaling $2,560 from United Airlines and $246.47 from Expedia on April 13 — all listed as payments for “services not provided.”

Juanita Kizor, an Orinda resident who gave $500 to Swalwell’s campaign just hours before the scandal broke, told The Post she has been a supporter in recent years but is now frustrated after writing a letter to the campaign asking for her money to be returned.

“It’s quite disappointing, because he did such a great job on the [Trump] impeachment hearings,” Kizor said.

“I think he’s talented and had a bright future, and it’s gotta be devastating for his family and him — but there’s no going back.”

“He did not act with integrity at all.” 

A shellshocked Kathy Griffin — one of many Hollywood donors who showered Swalwell with cash — said on her podcast she clawed back her $10,000 donation to his campaign and donated it to a progressive media organization.

“I’m very proud I was able to get the donation back from Swalwell-world,” the comedienne shared on her podcast, “Talk Your Head off.”

Swalwell processed $53,685 in refunds to donors in the first three and a half months of 2026 while bringing in more than $5.5 million, according to campaign records.

Swalwell is now the focus of criminal investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice and district attorneys in Los Angeles and Manhattan.

Swalwell could soon be drowning in legal problems, Paul Kamenar, an attorney with the National Legal and Policy Center, told The Post in an interview this month.

Civil lawsuits could follow the criminal probes into Swalwell’s alleged misdeeds, Kamenar explained. Campaign records showed a $40,000 payout to pitbull attorney Sara Azari, who defended Swalwell on television after the sexual abuse reports surfaced.

The Department of Justice is also investigating Swalwell as scrutiny grows over his use of campaign funds for partying, childcare and hotel rooms — where at least one sexual assault was alleged to have occurred.

“He’s not out of the woods by any means,” Kamenar said.

Swalwell did not respond to a request for comment.
