<p>The Department of Justice is investigating former Congressman Eric Swalwell for alleged sexual assault, a source familiar told The Daily Wire Thursday.</p>
<p>The disgraced California Democrat is already under investigation for two separate sexual assault incidents by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Few details are known about the Justice Department investigation, which <a href="https://www.notus.org/courts/eric-swalwell-justice-department-investigation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NOTUS</a> first reported Thursday.</p>
<p>Several women have come forward accusing Swalwell of sexual harassment or assault, with the allegations ranging from rape to sending inappropriate images over Snapchat.</p>
<p>“He raped me, and he choked me. And while he was choking me, I lost consciousness,” model Lonna Drewes told reporters in California on Tuesday regarding a 2018 incident at a West Hollywood hotel. “And I thought I died. I did not consent to any sexual activity.”</p>
<p>“My delay in taking action against Eric was driven by fear, not doubt. Fear of his political power, his background as an attorney, and his family law enforcement ties,” she continued.</p>
<p>Swalwell resigned from Congress on Tuesday after dropping out of the California governor’s race over the weekend.</p>
<p>“I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make,” Swalwell said in a statement on Monday.</p>
<p>United States Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro set up a tip line for possible leads related to Swalwell in the nation’s capital.</p>
<p>“We’ve gotten some, but we’re trying to make sense as to whether or not they involve this jurisdiction or whether they involve a crime at all,” Pirro told <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jeanine-pirro-breaks-down-why-swalwell-could-face-decades-behind-bars?author=Cameron+Arcand&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=EXCLUSIVE%3A+Jeanine+Pirro+Breaks+Down+Why+Swalwell+Could+Face+Decades+Behind+Bars" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> on Wednesday. “We have to go through a process where we actually review that and not just count the numbers.”</p>
<p>However, she said if he is charged and convicted of rape, he could face years behind bars. Swalwell has yet to be arrested or criminally charged in any case.</p>
<p>“Let’s just put it this way. Based upon an allegation that’s already been made of possibly drugging, choking, and then raping a woman,” Pirro said. “You’re talking about decades in prison,” Pirro added.</p>
