Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13) dropped a series of explosive allegations against embattled Congressman Eric Swalwell, warning that the California Democrat’s spiraling sexual misconduct scandal could land him behind bars.
It's a sensational claim, yes. But the fact that Swalwell has so spectacularly imploded that he was forced to resign so swiftly suggests we're dealing with a different kind of situation here.
Luna hinted at the issues Swalwell is facing regarding an alleged video circulating on social media of the disgraced lawmaker interacting with someone she has described as a sex worker.
As RedState's Sister Toldjah reported earlier, Luna wondered on X about the person who may have filmed the video, asking, "Eric, why don't you tell us a little about who was filming the video of the female sex worker?"

In a bombshell appearance on Fox News with host Jesse Watters, Luna indicated that she had received “forensic reporting” confirming the video is real. Worse, she indicates she knows a little more about the person behind the video than she initially let on.
"I do think that he has serious criminal problems on his hands, and I do think that he might end up in jail," Luna said.
"Not only did I receive forensic reporting showing that you know, that infamous video of him in the hotel room was indeed him — it was not AI-generated — but I'm also being told that ... more stuff is going to be dropping in the next 24 hours, and that also potentially the individual that recorded that video in the hotel room was a female and she was underage," the congresswoman claimed.
Watters' reaction says it all. It's a pretty shocking claim. Though he correctly points out that the video has not been confirmed by Fox, and any context for it is pure speculation at this point.
"If what you're saying is true," Watters said. "That is very, very, very bad news."
Swalwell announced his resignation from Congress earlier today, after multiple women — including a former staffer — accused him of sexual misconduct and assault, with one alleging he raped her twice while she was too intoxicated to consent.
In addition to the bombshell claims, Luna contends that Swalwell's behavior had been known to the media for years, yet they did little to investigate and report it to the public.
"I will say many people on the Hill knew about this, many reporters have come forward ... saying that they had heard stories about this," she contends, later adding, "they knew about it, they did not report on it."
You mean the media that covered up the Biden autopen/mental incapacity scandal would keep the criminal behavior of a Democrat under wraps? Wild.
"Now we're looking at the criminal activity, and I stand by what I said, because I saw again, the forensics report of that video, and if that is true, I would suggest that the Manhattan DA look into that," Luna concluded the segment.
The Manhattan DA's office has already initiated an investigation into the sexual assault allegations.
Just when you thought Swalwell's scandal couldn't get any uglier, Luna claims, there's "more disgusting stuff" on the horizon? It's hard to believe it could get much worse.
