FBI raids Swalwell home, seizes devices at airport

Federal agents seized electronic devices from Rep. Eric Swalwell at San Francisco International Airport and then raided his Washington, D.C. home as part of a federal investigation into sexual misconduct allegations. Swalwell has repeatedly denied the accusations, which include multiple women alleging sexual assault or misconduct and contributed to his resignation from Congress and withdrawal from a California gubernatorial bid. The investigations involve multiple agencies, including the FBI, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and follow a broader pattern of scrutiny surrounding Swalwell’s past relationships and conduct. Newly declassified documents linked to Christine Fang, a woman described as a Chinese spy, have been cited to detail Swalwell’s past interactions and potential political intelligence concerns, though Swalwell has insisted he did nothing improper. Swallwell’s public career has been marked by his role as a vocal critic of then-President Trump and his abrupt political exits amid the allegations. He maintains he did not commit wrongdoing while facing ongoing legal and political pressure from the investigations.
