Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) accused President Donald Trump's Department of Justice of ignoring death threats against him, despite their pledge to actively pursue threats against elected officials, during an interview with progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen on Wednesday.

Swalwell said he has referred multiple people to the DOJ for threatening his life and the lives of his family members. He added that the DOJ sent him a letter saying they were not going to prosecute the cases.

"A couple of weeks ago, after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the attorney general had put out on her social media that the administration will aggressively pursue any threats against elected officials, and I responded essentially saying that's not the case," Swalwell said. "We have a number of direct specific threats to me and my kids that have not been prosecuted, and we were sent letters saying they would not be prosecuted."

Swalwell's comments come at a time when multiple Trump critics have been criminally indicted. For instance, former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on two charges of obstruction of justice and lying to Congress. New York Attorney General Letitia James was also indicted for allegedly committing mortgage fraud. Both Comey and James have denied the charges against them.

Swalwell added that Attorney General Pam Bondi has reached out and asked to "look at" the cases he submitted.

"I don't want to be treated any better or worse than anyone else, but my fear at this point is that because I have been a critic, and I am someone who holds the president accountable, is that the DOJ is simply not going after people who threaten me," Swalwell said.
