| Disgraced Eric Swalwell must return $30k in donations or face the consequences: FEC |
| 2026-06-17 |
| [CA Post] As the race to replace him gets underway, federal regulators are pressing former Rep. Eric Swalwell to return more than $30,000 in general election donations or face a potential audit and enforcement action. In a June 15 letter, the Federal Election Commission warned Swalwell’s committee that it must refund the funds because he is no longer running for office. The move from the FEC is escalating pressure on the disgraced ex-congressman as multiple financial and personal controversies continue to swirl. As the scandals deepen, voters in the San Francisco Bay Area congressional district formerly represented by Swalwell cast ballots Tuesday night to determine who will replace the Democrat in a special election for the seat. The warning lands on top of already heavy scrutiny surrounding Swalwell’s failed California gubernatorial bid, where filings show significant campaign spending, including nearly $38,807 paid between April 19 and May 16 to North Hollywood-based transportation and security operator Darly Meyer and his CYD Global Car Service, which advertises chauffeured vehicles and executive protection. Those same filings also show the campaign has spent substantial sums on legal fees, totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars, as Swalwell faces multiple ongoing inquiries tied to misconduct allegations. |
