Reporter raises allegation about Rep. Swalwell; White House calls claims "despicable and disgusting"
Loading...
Summary
A reporter asked about a circulated video alleging misconduct by Rep. Eric Swalwell and ties to Sen. Ruben Gallego; the White House called the allegations "despicable and disgusting" and urged journalists to pursue reporting and ask Democrats about any prior knowledge.
A reporter identified as Mr. Posobiec asked whether the administration had comment on a circulated video and allegations involving former Representative Eric Swalwell and questions about a close relationship with Sen. Ruben Gallego.
The question included an assertion that accusers were coming forward and that geotagging placed Swalwell in Las Vegas. "Is the administration had any comment on the fact that senator Gallego seem to be very vocal about wanting the release of the Epstein files," the reporter asked, and whether he had "any comment on his own involvement with Eric Swalwell."
Caroline responded that she found the allegations "despicable and disgusting," and said she believed journalists should examine whether other Democrats "knew about his, perhaps illegal behavior" and, if so, why they had not acted. She said she would like to see reporters in the room and on Capitol Hill "do their jobs" to ask those questions.
The exchange recorded no new evidence; the reporter framed the item as an allegation and the moderator requested that the press pursue the matter. No administration official provided confirmation or documentary evidence during the briefing.
