About this episode
The episode discusses the investigation into Eric Swalwell, the controversy surrounding the San Diego Velodrome, and the challenges of preserving historical architecture.
It’s been one week since the story broke that now former Rep. Eric Swalwell allegedly sexually assaulted a former staffer. On KPBS Roundtable, we sit down with one of the journalists who broke the story and talk more about the rigorous investigative process and reporting behind it.
