The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office is currently reviewing a criminal case against former Rep. Eric Swalwell over allegations that he drugged, raped, and choked Beverly Hills woman Lonna Drewes in 2018, but no charging decision has been made.

According to multiple reports, the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department Special Victims Bureau is still in the early stages of investigating the allegations, which were first made public in April 2026 when Drewes accused Swalwell of drugging, sexually assaulting, and choking her during a July 2018 encounter in a West Hollywood hotel room.

Swalwell resigned from Congress in April.

In August, The Daily Mail reported, FBI agents confronted Swalwell with a search warrant when he landed at San Francisco Airport on Saturday. They then took the former congressman’s electronic devices, including his cell phone, reportedly as part of a federal criminal investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct.  Per the Standard, the warrant was issued under federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 242.

Swalwell is being accused of multiple counts of sexual misconduct and assault, a lengthy prison sentence appears firmly on the table should he be convicted.

In was previously reported that the Intel Community had a classified report detailing Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell’s intimate relationship with Fang Fang.

According to Axios, Fang Fang was a “bundler” for Eric Swalwell and other Democrat candidates but it was also reported the Chinese spy had an intimate relationship with Swalwell.

A source on Capitol Hill previously confirmed to the Federalist that Swalwell indeed had a sexual relationship with Fang Fang.

Protesters gathered in a Minnesota park this week to show their support for Ilhan Omar and her bag of deceit and fraud.

The rally for Ilhan, a nasty Trump-hating fraud, was held at Powderhorn Park in Minneapolis on Monday.

The protest was organized hours after a Democrat DC judge approved a raid on Ilhan Omar’s DC home.

of course, the rally was organized by the Freedom Road Socialist Organization.

The red-green alliance is alive and well in Minnesota.

Wall Street Apes posted the video.

White liberals gathered in a Minnesota park to demand “Hands off Ilham Omar” and “Hands off the Somali community”

Look at this crowd, there is literally zero diversity, they’re all white liberals

This event was organized by an NGO, its name is Freedom Road Socialist Organization

They say it’s actually not the Somali community who’s the criminals, according to these white liberals it’s actually Donald Trump that’s the criminal

Somali’s in Minnesota have been linked to an estimated $9 billion dollars in fraud, this is our tax money being stolen. But white liberals don’t care about any of that

They made signs saying if you terrorize their immigrants, you’re a fascist. Also calling to abolish ICE

Where are the Somali’s protesting for Ilham Omar?? The entire crowd is white liberals

The nonprofit is Freedom Road Socialist Organization, which is a national Marxist-Leninist group with its headquarters and a major Twin Cities district presence in Minneapolis

They have “full time organizers”

Nothing is organic. All this is funded and organized

Barack Obama is preparing to campaign for far-left Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.

Obama is scheduled to appear alongside El-Sayed in Detroit on October 24 as Democrats battle to retain the Michigan Senate seat against Republican Mike Rogers.

However, court records indicate El-Sayed’s sister-in-law previously sued the federal government over her alleged inclusion on a terrorism watchlist during Obama’s presidency.

Mariam Jukaku, the sister of El-Sayed’s wife, Sarah, participated in two federal lawsuits back in 2016 challenging her placement on the government’s Terrorist Screening Database.

The lawsuits were brought with assistance from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an organization that supports those with ties to Islamism.

According to court filings, Jukaku began experiencing difficulties in 2012 after receiving a boarding pass marked with the designation “SSSS,” which triggers additional airport security screening.

She subsequently underwent extensive searches and questioned why she had been subjected to heightened scrutiny.

One lawsuit sought to challenge the alleged watchlist designation on constitutional grounds, while another pursued financial damages.

The litigation concluded without establishing that the government had improperly placed Jukaku on the database.

The FBI has also declined to confirm whether she was ever included on the watchlist, citing its longstanding policy of neither confirming nor denying individual designations.

Jukaku previously served as a leader of the Muslim Student Association at the University of California, Los Angeles, and edited its Muslim student publication, Al-Talib.

In 2004, she publicly rejected allegations concerning the student organization’s supposed connections to extremist groups.

“They were ridiculous allegations that didn’t make sense,” she told UCLA’s Daily Bruin at the time.

The controversy has also drawn attention to El-Sayed’s father-in-law, Tayeb Jukaku, who previously served as president of CAIR’s Michigan chapter.

According to The Midwesterner, Tayeb Jukaku has contributed at least $300,000 to a political action committee supporting El-Sayed’s Senate campaign.

Meanwhile, El-Sayed has faced separate questions about his family’s historical connections to the Muslim Brotherhood after social media posts by his half-sister, Eman Abdelhadi, resurfaced.

In a 2012 post, Abdelhadi boasted about her mother’s activism for the organization, which seeks to establish an international Islamic caliphate.

Latest polling data from RealClearPolling shows that El-Sayed has a lead of around one percent over his opponent, well within the margin of error.

Leftist agitators tried again to disrupt President Trump’s speech in Dalton, Georgia, on Friday and were hauled out of the building by Trump supporters. 

After the interruption, one supporter in a MAGA hat could be seen pushing a man through the crowd as other supporters joined him in escorting the agitators out. At least two protesters appeared to be surrounded by supporters, though it is unclear how many there were.

Security was seen allowing the supporters to take it into their own hands and directing them on where to take the protesters out as the crowd chanted “USA!”

President Trump then responded, slamming the “paid protesters” and the fake news media.

“And tomorrow’s story will be: ‘Oh, they had protesters!’ It’s like two paid protesters,” he said before roasting the basement-dwelling leftists.

“Their mother and father are watching, and they’re gonna smack those kids around when they get home because they both voted for Trump!”

WATCH:

This comes after Trump supporters beat the hell out of an absolute whale at a recent Trump rally in Youngstown, Ohio, earlier this week. Video from the rally shows them getting pummeled in a brawl with a supporter, then being held down as police quickly rushed to take the agitator out

“Oh, he’s got to go on a diet. He’s a fat guy. Wow! Wow,” Trump said as police dragged the obese boy-girl thing out of his rally. “Gotta go on a diet fast. We all do,” Trump said as the crowd continued chanting “USA!”

Asked whether he was briefed on the shooting, Trump immediately highlighted the man who stopped it and made an incredible case for the Second Amendment.

“I was. Well, I’ll tell you what, there was a great hero,” he said.

“As bad as it was, we had a great hero that went in and did the business. He took care of business, and thank God we had him. Otherwise, it would have been much worse.”

“It’s a terrible thing, but thank goodness for a man that had a gun and knew how to use it,” Trump added.

The Gateway Pundit reported that the shooter and armed bystander who shot him were identified on Friday.
