FBI Seizes Devices from Former Rep. Eric Swalwell and Executes Raid on His Washington Home
Federal agents confiscated electronic equipment from former Congressman Eric Swalwell at San Francisco International Airport and later searched his Washington, D.C., residence as part of a federal probe linked to sexual assault allegations.
Federal investigators took electronic devices belonging to former Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday and conducted a search of his Washington, D.C., home the following day, sources familiar with the investigation said. The actions are part of a federal inquiry tied to multiple sexual assault accusations against the former lawmaker. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department have opened separate criminal investigations following the allegations, which prompted Swalwell’s resignation from Congress in April. Two women who have publicly accused Swalwell of sexual misconduct also told CNN they have spoken with FBI officials. Swalwell and his attorney have not responded to requests for comment.
