Swalwell accused of sexual assault as legal questions mount: Join the live discussion

Join The Hill’s Legal Affairs Reporters Ella Lee and Zach Schonfeld for a live discussion on how the courts are interacting with politics. 

Former Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) was recently hit with sexual assault allegations, leading him to resign from Congress and drop his California gubernatorial bid. Will calls for accountability — or his efforts to fight back — hit the courts?

Plus, President Trump’s war with the media heats up, from the Pentagon to a Miami courtroom. 

The analysis will include a Q&A session on the latest legal news.

The event is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. EDT.
