What to know about FBI raid on Eric Swalwell's home
Federal agents executed back-to-back searches on former Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell over the weekend, first seizing his electronics at San Francisco International Airport and then raiding his Washington, D.C. home as part of a widening federal probe into sexual assault allegations. The escalation signals a sharp turn in the criminal investigations that have followed multiple public accusations against the former congressman. The raids now place Swalwell, already facing inquiries in Manhattan and Los Angeles, under even more intense scrutiny as federal investigators gather evidence that could shape the next phase of the case. Sources familiar with the investigation told CNN that agents seized multiple electronic devices during the two-day operation. Three women who have accused Swalwell of sexual misconduct also told CNN they have spoken with the FBI. Federal agents approached Swalwell shortly after he landed at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday, serving him with a search warrant and immediately confiscating his cellphone and other electronic devices. According to a source who spoke with The New York Post, the encounter was direct but non-confrontational, with Swalwell cooperating as agents collected the items listed in the warrant. The Daily Mail first reported the airport operation, which marked the first public sign that federal investigators were moving aggressively to secure potential digital evidence.
