Who is Eric Swalwell's wife Brittany Watts? A look at his children and married life in $1.2M Washington home
Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell, who is also the House impeachment manager for former President Donald Trump's second impeachment trial, accused the former President of mobilizing his supporters for months until they launched the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
"He built this mob over many months with repeated messaging, until they believed that they’d been robbed of their vote, and they would do *anything* to stop the certification," remarked the California Democrat, on the second day of the impeachment trial. He also added that there was a clear distinction between the Trump supporters who peacefully attended the rally and the ones who turned rogue and started the Capitol Riots, reported NPR.
