Another woman accused Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., of sexual assault on Tuesday, just hours before the embattled lawmaker is expected to resign from the House.

The announcement came during a news conference in Beverly Hills, Calif., organized by the women’s attorney, Lisa Bloom.
Swalwell has repeatedly denied any criminal wrongdoing and has promised to fight “false” accusations.
