From a Politico article on the staffer statement

The statement was provided to POLITICO by a senior staffer with Swalwell’s campaign who was granted anonymity because they feared reprisal for speaking out. They attributed it to more than a dozen unnamed staffers in both his campaign and congressional office. It comes after at least four departures Friday from the lawmaker’s campaign for California governor, which has been in a tailspin since the accusations surfaced.
