Disgraced Eric Swalwell Still Messaging Former Staffers on Snapchat Despite Political Fallout

Eric Swalwell, the disgraced former Congressman, is still using Snapchat as a channel for private communications despite it being the app that led to the end of his political career.

The revelation came Friday in a report from the New York Times detailing Swalwell’s use of social media.

“Mr. Swalwell is still using Snapchat. As recently as this week,” the Times wrote. “Mr. Swalwell communicated directly with a former intern on the app and asked her why she had taken a screenshot of their chat history.”

The Times said the details were provided to them through images, though they said the new messages were not sexual in nature.

At least six women have publicly or anonymously accused Swalwell of misconduct spanning sexual assault allegations, inappropriate workplace conduct, and unsolicited explicit communications, including claims involving Snapchat exchanges that allegedly included sexual messages and explicit images.
