FBI raids former Rep. Eric Swalwell’s home, seizes devices in sexual assault probe
Federal agents seized electronic devices from former Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell at San Francisco airport and raided his Washington home the following day, according to CNN, as part of a probe connected to sexual assault allegations. Swalwell has denied all allegations and did not respond to CNN’s requests for comment.
He resigned from Congress and dropped his gubernatorial bid in April after CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle reported misconduct claims, including a former staffer alleging he raped her. The Manhattan DA’s office and LA Sheriff’s Department opened separate criminal investigations, and four women confirmed being contacted by the FBI.
