Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is facing an ethics complaint over allegations from a right-leaning watchdog that the congressman may have unlawfully "abused official resources for political purposes."

Swalwell, in mid-June, used the Twitter account for his campaign to post a roughly 1-minute long video of a congressional hearing in which he blasted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and displayed his campaign logo. Because members of Congress cannot use official resources for campaign or political purposes, Swalwell appears to have skirted House ethics rules, according to the Foundation for Accountability & Civic Trust, which on Thursday demanded the Office of Congressional Ethics launch an investigation.

"The legal violation in this case is obvious and there are no facts that can excuse it," the watchdog's executive director, Kendra Arnold, wrote in the complaint. "Swalwell used official House resources and proceedings for political purposes. The video was taken inside a government building and is from a House Committee proceeding, both are official resources. The fact that Swalwell put his campaign logo on an official resource shows a complete lack of respect for the law, in addition to him posting it on a campaign social media site."

The watchdog's ethics complaint comes days after White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was sent a letter from the Office of Special Counsel that warned her about an apparent Hatch Act violation. The act was signed in 1939 and seeks to restrict federal employees from being involved in certain political activities. Jean-Pierre's reported violation pertained to some of her remarks recently taking aim at "mega-MAGA Republican officials."

Swalwell's tweet that the watchdog cited in its complaint read, "MAGA GOP doesn't like when I quote their own."

"The laws at issue in this case are important because not only do they protect taxpayer-funded resources from abuse, they also protect the integrity of official proceedings," Arnold wrote in the complaint. "One issue the House Ethics Manual acknowledges is the public perception that incumbents are simply using their office to run for re-election or to run for a higher office, and the reason for that perception is quite evident in Rep. Swalwell’s actions."

Swalwell has frequently come under scrutiny from watchdogs and Republican lawmakers. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) notably removed him in January from the House Intelligence Committee over the California Democrat's reported relationship with a suspected Chinese spy named Christine Fang.

He has also been hit with ethics complaints over his campaign spending on childcare, COVID-19 testing, and a musical, records show.

Swalwell's office did not return a request for comment.
