FBI agents conducted a search of former Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell’s Washington D.C. residence on Sunday, August 16. This operation followed an incident the previous day at the San Francisco airport, where federal agents intercepted Swalwell and confiscated several of his electronic devices. The actions are part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of sexual assault against the former congressman.
Swalwell, who previously resigned from his congressional position in April following the emergence of these allegations, remains the subject of the federal probe. The coordination between the airport seizure and the subsequent home search marks a significant escalation in the investigation regarding the reported misconduct.
