So sad

Think Things Can't Get Worse for Eric Swalwell? They Just Did.

Eric Swalwell's week from hell just got a whole lot worse, and this time, the fire came from someone who called him family.

Stephen Cloobeck, a timeshare mogul, publicly nuked his relationship with the accused rapist California congressman on Sunday. Hours later, Swalwell quietly announced that he was dropping his bid for California governor.

Apparently, Cloobeck had been letting Swalwell crash at his 9,700-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion while the congressman battled mounting allegations of rape, sexual assault, and sexual misconduct from multiple women. Swalwell even filmed his denial video there on Friday.

By Sunday, Cloobeck had seen enough. He kicked Swalwell out.

Just weeks ago, Cloobeck called Swalwell his “little brother” in an interview with Politico, and he scoffed in a previous interview with The Post when asked about rumors that Swalwell may have acted inappropriately with female staff and interns.

Cloobeck, who said he has been a Democrat for “almost 40-year plus,” is now unsure where the allegations will ultimately lead, but he said the controversy was enough to make him walk away.

“I don’t know where these facts are going to end up — you hear or read all this stuff,” he said.

When asked whether he believed Swalwell had been truthful with him, Cloobeck said: “I’m gonna have to investigate that. I don’t know the answer to that.”

Cloobeck, who gained more name recognition after briefly running for governor last year and making multiple appearances on the TV show “Undercover Boss,” has been extremely generous to Swalwell.

On top of letting the deeply-in-debt congressman frequently stay at his 9,700-square-foot mansion, Cloobeck gave the maximum $39,200 to Swalwell’s campaign and gifted the congressman a $31,000 trip to France in 2024.
