Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-14), who is running for governor, is facing new scrutiny after a growing number of women – some anonymously, others out in the open – have accused him of sexual assault up to rape. Now, there are complaints that he used campaign money to pay for a nanny who wasn’t authorized to work in the U.S.
Fox News has more:
A complaint filed Tuesday with the Department of Labor alleges that Swalwell and his wife, Brittany Swalwell, lied to keep their babysitter, Amanda Barbosa, employed, according to The New York Post.
In a separate complaint filed in February with the Department of Homeland Security by California filmmaker and political activist Joel Gilbert, first reported by The Post, Swalwell is accused of paying his nanny with campaign funds for roughly two years while she allegedly did not have valid work authorization.
“Barbosa appears in numerous social media photos with the Swalwell family throughout 2023 and 2024, indicating continued close association and ongoing childcare responsibilities despite the absence of known lawful work authorization,” the DHS complaint states.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) confirmed to Fox News that it has referred the matter to DHS law enforcement for investigation.
“USCIS has been collecting information on the allegations involving Congressman Eric Swalwell hiring of a Brazilian national as a nanny without lawful work authorization. These allegations are serious… Federal law prohibits employers from knowingly hiring aliens who are not authorized to work in the United States. No employer, including a member of Congress, is above the law. DHS will continue to aggressively enforce statutes to uphold the rule of law and protect American workers,” a USCIS spokesperson said in a statement.
Meet Eric Swalwell's illegal alien Brazilian nanny, Amanda Barbosa, slaving away in 2024. She is "off the books" so Swalwell likely failed to pay required Social Security, Medicare taxes (FICA), Workers' Comp and Unemployment Insurance.

This bozo has been one of the loudest Democrat voices against voter ID, President Trump’s deportation efforts, and anything else pertaining to immigration enforcement and election integrity. Wonder why.
Meanwhile, he faces a growing chorus of women who claim he’s a lecherous POS who can’t keep his hands or other body parts to himself, especially when they are drinking together.
If anyone deserves what is very likely coming his way, it’s Eric Swalwell, one of the nastiest members of a party that continues to prove it is a festering boil on the backside of America.
