I’ve spoken to a lot of House Republicans this week and they’ve confided that Trump’s movement/support is fading,” Swalwell tweeted.
“As one told me, ‘this Epstein bomb is about to drop and no one wants to defend a pedo-protector.
Swalwell ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic presidential nomination during the 2020 election cycle.
“One Republican just texted me that if there’s a discharge vote on Epstein they expect a ‘jail break’ of over 100 members,” Swalwell added in a subsequent tweet.
The congressman, who sits on the House Judiciary and Homeland Security committees declined to name any of the Republican House members who’d been confiding with him.
President Trump has faced scrutiny, even at times from members of his own party, for his connection to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Swalwell’s comments come with the House adjourned in the midst of a government shutdown now in its second week. »
