	On April 11, 2026, Shkreli inserted himself into the political scandal surrounding California congressman Eric Swalwell. After the ''San Francisco Chronicle'' published a former staffer's on-the-record account alleging that Swalwell had raped her twice -- once in a hotel room in September 2019, and again at a charity event in April 2024 -- Shkreli announced on X (formerly Twitter) that he had obtained a video from a source purportedly showing Swalwell in an intimate encounter with a woman.<ref name="fox-swalwell">{{cite web \|title=Swalwell's Former Female Staffer Drops Bombshell Allegations: Sexual Assault, Exposing Himself \|url=https://www.foxnews.com/politics/swalwells-former-female-staffer-drops-bombshell-allegations-sexual-assault-exposing-himself-report \|work=Fox News \|date=April 11, 2026 \|access-date=April 12, 2026}}</ref><ref name="nypost-portnoy">{{cite web \|title=Dave Portnoy Roasts Eric Swalwell Over Sexual Assault Allegations \|url=https://nypost.com/2026/04/11/us-news/dave-portnoy-roasts-eric-swalwell-over-sexual-assault-allegations-serial-drunk-scumbag-cheater/ \|work=New York Post \|date=April 11, 2026 \|access-date=April 12, 2026}}</ref>		On April 11, 2026, Shkreli inserted himself into the political scandal surrounding California congressman Eric Swalwell.

	Shkreli tagged Swalwell's campaign account on X and stated that he was giving the campaign twenty minutes to respond before releasing the footage. When no response came, he posted the clip. The video, which Shkreli said was filmed inside Swalwell's home, shows a man kissing a woman on a bed. Shkreli identified the woman as a sex worker and said a source had provided the footage directly to him.

	The release of the video accelerated the political fallout from the Chronicle report. Senator Ruben Gallego withdrew his endorsement of Swalwell's campaign for California governor. CNN subsequently reported that three additional women alleged receiving unsolicited explicit messages or photos from Swalwell. Swalwell denied all allegations, telling reporters: "It's false."<ref name="fox-swalwell" />		The release of the video accelerated the political fallout from the Chronicle report.
