Sen. Gallego: Rep. Eric Swalwell "lied to me" [View all]

Breaking on MSNOW. Swalwell was one of his closest friends. He just spoke to reporters for 40 minutes and took "every question" according to Ali Vitali. He said he knew nothing about the serious allegations, but there were rumors about him being "flirty".

This is a guy whose family vacationed with Swalwell's family and they watched each others' kids. He also said that Swalwell was leading a "double life".
