Federal agents seized electronic devices from former Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California as part of an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct, according to multiple sources cited by news organizations including the Associated Press, CBS News, BBC News, and Fox News. Agents also searched Swalwell's home in Washington, D.C. Swalwell has denied the allegations underlying the investigation. According to reporting from Fox News and BBC News, agents also stopped Swalwell over the weekend at San Francisco International Airport, where his cell phone was seized. The FBI executed search warrants targeting Swalwell, according to CBS News, which cited two sources. The specific nature and origin of the sexual misconduct allegations, as well as the scope of the underlying investigation, have not been detailed in available reporting. As of the latest reporting, no charges have been announced against Swalwell, and the investigation appears to be ongoing. It remains unresolved which agency is leading the probe beyond the FBI's role in executing search warrants and seizing devices, what specific evidence agents are seeking, and the timeline for any further investigative steps or potential charges. Swalwell has not been reported to have made a detailed public statement beyond denying the allegations.
