Powerhouse attorney reveals alleged Eric Swalwell rape victim about to drop even more evidence

Powerhouse attorney Lisa Bloom has claimed she has more evidence tied to a rape allegation against Eric Swalwell—and said more alleged victims have come forward to her.

Bloom, who represents Lonna Drewes, spoke to Ashley Zavala on California Politics 360 where she discussed her client’s allegation that Swalwell drugged and raped her in 2018.

Last week, Drewes stepped forward with her accusations against Swalwell during an emotional press conference.

“I’m very proud to represent the brave Lonna Drewes,” Bloom said. Bloom said Drewes’ case has since been escalated to the special victims unit and the district attorney’s office.

She emphasized that Los Angeles County law enforcement is treating the matter very seriously—and reiterated her confidence in the case, saying, “There’s no question in my mind.”

Bloom also disclosed that Drewes is preparing to present a significant trove of evidence that has been stored away.

“She has some additional evidence she needs to get out of a storage unit, there’s some additional witness names, people she talked to after the incident,” Bloom said. “We are fully cooperating with the sheriff’s investigation.”

Bloom has spoken with four more women who may soon come forward with their own sexual harassment allegations.

“I expect that number will continue to rise,” she added. She stressed that confidential conversations are the crucial first step in building the case.

When asked whether the women or potential witnesses would come forward and speak publicly, she said: “That’s not something we would ever push somebody to do.”

“It’s entirely their choice, but talking confidentially to us, of course, for free is the first step so that we can gather information to help Lonna.”

Drewes recounted that her initial interactions with Swalwell began under the pretense of business.

She claimed she met Swalwell with the goal of establishing a “business relationship” and was interested in the “professional connections he offered to provide.”

Swalwell reportedly told her he could introduce her to people in Silicon Valley.

But during their third meeting, he allegedly slipped something into her drink and took her back to his hotel room.

Several women have now come forward with accusations of sexual assault or misconduct against Swalwell, allegations he continues to firmly deny.
