Another woman has alleged that Eric Swalwell drugged and raped her in a hotel room in 2018, adding to a growing list of misconduct allegations against the former Democratic lawmaker.

Speaking on Tuesday, Lonna Drewes said she had been reluctant to come forward earlier because of Swalwell's "political power".

Swalwell has since resigned from Congress and withdrawn from California governor's race. He denies "each and every" sexual misconduct allegation against him.

"These accusations are false, fabricated, and deeply offensive - a calculated and transparent political hit job," his attorney Sara Azari said.
