Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi<\/a> denied having any knowledge of sexual misconduct and rape accusations against Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., after four women came forward.<\/p>\n

Swalwell announced on Monday his plans to resign from the House amid a looming expulsion vote threat.<\/p>\n

When asked by journalist Frank Sesno whether she knew about the allegations before bombshell stories came out from CNN and The San Francisco Chronicle over the weekend, Pelosi replied: “I had none whatsoever.”<\/p>\n

Pelosi, a longtime ally of Swalwell\u2019s who pushed for his ascension up party ranks, distanced herself from the fellow Bay Area Democrat during an event at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

She admitted Swalwell\u2019s resignation announcement<\/a> Monday was a “smart decision” and the “right thing to do” after a wave of sexual harassment allegations threatened to force his ouster in Congress.<\/p>\n

Four women have accused Swalwell of sexual misconduct,<\/a> including one former staffer who alleges the congressman raped her when she was too intoxicated to consent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., planned to introduce an expulsion resolution against Swalwell on Tuesday prior to his resignation announcement. The measure would have needed a two-thirds majority to pass and some Democrats had already pledged to support it.<\/p>\n

Swalwell suspended his gubernatorial campaign on Sunday after major labor unions and congressional endorsers pulled their support, citing the accusations against him.<\/p>\n

Pelosi, who still wields considerable influence among California Democrats,<\/a> dodged when asked if she personally advised Swalwell to resign from Congress.<\/p>\n

“Oh, I think that was his decision,” she replied. “That’s the right thing to do \u2026\u00a0 not to subject members to have to take a vote on something like that, and not to subject your family.”<\/p>\n

“If you have a challenge that you have to address, it\u2019s best addressed not as a candidate for governor and not as a member of Congress,” Pelosi added.<\/p>\n

She called on him to exit the race<\/a> following the wave of sexual harassment allegations, and had not yet endorsed his campaign to be next governor of California.<\/p>\n

Pelosi is not the only Democratic lawmaker to profess ignorance about the accusations against Swalwell.<\/p>\n

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., on Monday accused his close congressional ally and longtime friend of living a double life.<\/p>\n

“I want to be clear: I had no knowledge of the allegations of assault, harassment, and predatory behavior against Eric Swalwell,” Gallego said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Gallego’s statement came after Swalwell had dropped out of California’s 2026 gubernatorial race amid the wave of sexual harassment allegations.<\/p>\n

In 2025, Pelosi announced her plans to not run for reelection after a decades-long career in the House.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Swalwell did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
