Summary
It was an open secret among the political class—except, apparently, to those who knew him best. Democrats who once described their closeness with former Rep. Eric Swalwell (D., Calif.) now say they are shocked by the string of sexual misconduct allegations against him–including rape–that ended his gubernatorial campaign and led to his resignation from Congress. The professions of ignorance come as reporters, former Capitol Hill staffers, and other political insiders say Swalwell's alleged treatment of women has been an open secret in the nation's Capitol.
