Rep. Swalwell Claims House Republicans May Withdraw Trump Support

Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell made a statement on social media Wednesday regarding former President Donald Trump's standing among Republican lawmakers. According to Swalwell, House Republicans have privately expressed to him that support for Trump is diminishing. The congressman did not provide specific evidence to substantiate these claims about changing Republican positions.

In his social media post, Swalwell referenced conversations he reportedly had with multiple House Republicans. He stated that one unnamed Republican lawmaker told him that an "Epstein bomb is about to drop" and suggested this development could affect support for the former president. The post alluded to Jeffrey Epstein, the financier who died in prison in 2019 while facing federal charges related to sex trafficking.

Swalwell's statement included the assertion that Republican lawmakers were concerned about being associated with what he characterized as a "pedo-protector." The congressman concluded his post by stating, "It's coming to an end guys," suggesting he believes Trump's political influence is waning. No additional context or evidence was provided to clarify the nature of the alleged forthcoming information.

Jeffrey Epstein has been the subject of ongoing public interest and conspiracy theories since his death, which authorities ruled a suicide. The financier had connections to numerous high-profile individuals across political and business spheres before his legal troubles and subsequent death. Swalwell's comments represent his perspective on current political dynamics but do not include verification from the Republican lawmakers he referenced.
