Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell has been accused of keeping his illegal live-in Brazilian nanny in the country by violating immigration and employment law, according to a pair of recently filed complaints.
The nanny, identified as Amanda Barbosa, was hired by Swalwell in 2021 and was paid with campaign funds despite not holding valid work authorization.
Swalwell is accused of lying to the feds to keep Barbosa working for him when her temporary work authorization was about to expire in 2022.
The complaints also alleged that Swalwell paid Barbosa under the table with campaign funds for a period of two years.
Barbosa appears in numerous social media photos with the Swalwell family throughout 2023 and 2024, indicating continued close association and ongoing childcare responsibilities.
Swalwell is already being investigated by the FEC for spending more than $200,000 in campaign funds on personal babysitting.
