CNN screenshot on Eric Swalwell “The letters called the women's accounts "false," ordered them to retract their statements and warned of potential legal action if they continue speaking out. The letters said the women's claims were “undermined" by their "voluntary and cooperative relationship with Mr. Swalwell over the course of many years" following the alleged incidents, including the former staffer asking him for job references.
