The Los Angeles District Attorney's office has assigned its Sex Crimes Division to an ongoing investigation involving Representative Eric Swalwell, according to a statement from DA Nathan Hochman.

"Our office has assigned our Sex Crimes Division to work closely with law enforcement," Hochman said regarding the matter.

The investigation reportedly involves allegations related to an incident at a West Hollywood hotel. Swalwell, a Democratic congressman from California, has not publicly commented on the matter.

The assignment of the specialized Sex Crimes Division indicates the serious nature of the allegations under investigation. The division typically handles cases involving sexual assault and related offenses.
