FBI agents seized Eric Swalwell's electronic devices at San Francisco airport on Saturday before searching his Washington home the following day. The former Democratic representative from California is the subject of a federal investigation related to sexual assault allegations.
The operation unfolded in two stages. On Saturday, an FBI team intercepted Eric Swalwell at San Francisco International Airport and confiscated his electronic devices. The following day, Sunday, agents searched his home in Washington, D.C. This information was reported Thursday by CNN, citing sources close to the investigation.
This federal investigation concerns allegations of sexual assault that led the Democratic congressman from the San Francisco Bay Area to announce his resignation from Congress last April. Swalwell had served in the House of Representatives for more than a decade.
The case now extends beyond the federal level. The Manhattan District Attorney's office and the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department have both opened separate criminal investigations targeting the former elected official, according to the same sources.
