Cloobeck had been closely tied with Swalwell, D-Dublin, who suspended his gubernatorial campaign and resigned from Congress after a woman alleged he drugged her and sexually assaulted her in a West Hollywood hotel in 2018. Swalwell has denied her account and other allegations of sexual misconduct.
Swalwell had been a house guest of Cloobeck until the latest allegation surfaced, when Cloobeck withdrew his financial backing of the disgraced politician, according to published reports.
Cloobeck and Lavie had publicly announced plans to get married in Jerusalem, but Lavie was subsequently barred from leaving the state due to her pending criminal case.
Lavie is due back in a Van Nuys courtroom Monday after being ordered last week to remain jailed without bail following her arrest on a similar case in Riverside County.
One of her attorneys, Jeremy Lessem, told reporters outside court after last week’s hearing that the defense may file a motion to have Lavie placed in a mental health diversion program.
