Summary

A new accuser, Lana Drews, came forward at a Los Angeles press conference claiming former Congressman Eric Swalwell drugged and raped her in a hotel room in 2018 after meeting him while working as a model in Beverly Hills. Drews described being incapacitated after one glass of wine, unable to move, and losing consciousness while being choked. She alleges Swalwell's wife was home pregnant at the time.
