Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick has been indicted and is accused of embezzling $5 million of federal disaster money.<\/p>\n<p>Both have denied wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>More legal trouble could be on the way after the\u00a0California Post reported\u00a0on a complaint alleging he hired a Brazilian nanny under the table for a number of years.<\/p>\n<p>That complaint was referred to the Department of Homeland Security for an investigation,\u00a0Politico reported.<\/p>\n<p>Even before the accusations, Swalwell has been dogged by a number of issues. He faced questions over his residency in California, where he claimed to rent out of a Livermore home. But the\u00a0Post went and visited neighbors\u00a0who said they couldn\u2019t identify him.<\/p>\n<p>Swalwell was also scrutinized for reports that he repeatedly pitched his AI startup, Findraiser, to fellow House Democrats and political operatives through texts, emails and in-person outreach.<\/p>\n<p>His finances were\u00a0under heavy duress, tax records seem to indicate. Swalwell dipped into his retirement savings and postponed his tax payments.<\/p>\n<p>He has also constantly used campaign funds to reimburse for child care, including during this governor\u2019s race, state records show.<\/p>\n<p>The ultimate blow, however, were the sexual allegations. Rumors about them swirled for a week before the Friday reports, when influencers on social media claimed they would be coming up.<\/p>\n<p>Even back then, Swalwell projected confidence that those claims were all just political attacks. He said at a April 7 town hall that the rumors were \u201cfalse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere has never been an allegation and there has never been a settlement,\u201d said Swalwell.<\/p>\n<p>Yet his claims that he didn\u2019t use any non-disclosure agreement \u2014 a reasoning given for why the victims haven\u2019t come forward until now \u2014 were contradicted by reports\u00a0of a staffer\u00a0who shared they did use such agreements.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
