Another woman has alleged that Eric Swalwell raped her, 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 with her allegations that Swalwell drugged and raped her in a hotel room in 2018 because of his "political power".

Swalwell has resigned from Congress and withdrawn from California governor's race since accusations against him were reported on Friday. 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.
