Senator Ruben Gallego has publicly distanced himself from his former closest ally, Eric Swalwell, after Swalwell announced his resignation from Congress following multiple sexual assault allegations. At a press conference on Capitol Hill, Gallego said Swalwell 'lied to all of us' and that their friendship 'clouded' his judgement.
The contrast between Gallego's publicly stated family values and the scandal engulfing Swalwell, whom Gallego once trusted to spend time with his children, has drawn significant attention as the fallout from the California Democrat's resignation continues to widen.
