Eric Swalwell’s career crashed out after allegations of rape and sexual assault, but the disgraced ex-congressman is still riding in style — and paying big bucks for a “luxury” chauffeur.New campaign filings from Swalwell’s ill-fated run for California governor show he spent the last month burning tens of thousand of dollars in campaign funds on a transportation and security specialist, while also paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in attorney fees as he faces multiple probes over his alleged predatory behavior.Swalwell paid nearly $39,000 to Darly Meyer, a North Hollywood-based luxury transportation and security operator whose company, CYD Global Car Service, advertises chauffeured black cars and executive protection.The filings show Swalwell’s campaign paid Meyer at least $38,807 between April 19 and May 16.Federal campaign filings dating back to 2021 show Swalwell’s congressional and PAC committees paid Meyer more than $360,000 through a patchwork of expense categories, according to a Fox News report.The charges included “security services,” “salary,” “travel expenses,” “car service,” and even reimbursements for flowers and postage.
