Swalwell frequently lived and stayed out of Cloobeck's Beverly Hills mansion, even filming a video response to misconduct allegations from inside the home.

Cloobeck himself ran for governor before dropping out to make way for Swalwell.

The benefactor has had troubles of his own. He was about to marry a  Penthouse Pet  accused of stealing from rich sugar daddies before calling it off.

Cloobeck was charged with three felony counts of attempting to dissuade or prevent a witness or victim from testifying, and one misdemeanor count of making annoying phone calls. All charges stem from his ex-partner Adva Lavie's criminal case in which she's accused of using dating apps to steal from rich older men.
