Federal Agents Search Eric Swalwell's Home and Seize Devices in Misconduct Investigation
Federal agents seized electronic devices from former Congressman Eric Swalwell at San Francisco airport and searched his Washington, DC home as part of an ongoing federal investigation into sexual misconduct allegations. Swalwell, who resigned from Congress and withdrew from the California governor race amid these claims, denies the sexual assault accusations but acknowledges past mistakes. The investigation follows earlier probes by local authorities and marks a significant escalation involving federal authorities.
