Late Sunday, he heeded their calls and said, quote, His departure comes just as he was consolidating support in the state's crowded primary field.

Alexei Kosev is the Washington, D.C.

He told us about Swalwell's career.

And a warning, ahead, there will be descriptions of sexual assault.

On Friday, Kasif and his colleagues first reported the story of a former female staffer who accused Swalwell of sexual assault while working for him.

The woman told Kasif that a similar incident took place years later.

CNN subsequently reported that three other women they spoke to allege Swalwell engaged in various kinds of misconduct, including sending them nude photos and other unsolicited explicit messages.

The woman featured in the Chronicle story told CNN she had felt conflicted at first about coming forward.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office has since said it is investigating the allegation of sexual assault against Swalwell.

Swalwell has been married for almost a decade and has three children.

His first video statement, made two days before deciding to withdraw from the race, was defiant.

Swalwell went on to highlight his record as a prosecutor, saying he fought on behalf of sexual assault victims.

But as Kossoff told us, the backlash against him was immediate, and his statement did nothing to reassure supporters.

It appears Swalwell's entire political career is now at risk.

Florida Republican Anna Paulina Luna said over the weekend she will file a motion in the House to expel Swalwell from Congress.

That would require a two-thirds majority.

Several lawmakers, Democrats included, said they would support the measure, which means Swalwell might not even get to finish his term in Congress.

He was a close ally of President Trump and President Putin.

But last night, after 16 years in power, Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was defeated.
