Disgraced congressman Eric Swalwell has reportedly unleashed a private investigator on former staffers who could have knowledge of his alleged sex crimes — as one ex-aide teams up with the Manhattan District Attorney on its investigation of him.
Swalwell’s hotshot attorney Sara Azari hired a professional snoop from New York firm Beau Dietl & Associates to question at least one former aide to the former congressman about their time in his office, NOTUS reported .

The private eye reportedly told the ex-staffer she wanted to “get to the bottom” of what happened with Swalwell by speaking with his former colleagues and that she’d be able to avoid a subpoena if the staffer cooperated with the questioning.
The ex-staffer was uncomfortable with the request and ended the call, the site reported.
