It has been revealed that Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) attended campaign events with former New Hampshire state representative Stacie Laughton, who was arrested in June on child pornography charges.
Laughton, 39, has been charged federally with felony counts of child sexual exploitation and aiding and abetting by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts. He was the first openly transgender lawmaker in the United States.
Swalwell was photographed with Laughton at a campaign event in New Hampshire in 2019, according to photos posted by TikTok’s Libs on Twitter.
Wow! @RepSwalwell i @BetoORourke campaigned for Stacie Laughton, the first transgender elected state representative in the country to be arrested for child pornography and child exploitation.
It’s worth noting that Stacie has a long criminal record dating back to before her 2022 campaign. pic.twitter.com/fRKskg3eht
