FBI seizes Swalwell's devices, executes search warrants in sexual misconduct probe
- On Saturday, FBI agents seized electronic devices from former Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell at San Francisco International Airport, then raided his Northeast Washington home the following day as part of an investigation into sexual assault allegations.
- The FBI's own investigation found no wrongdoing and closed in 2017, a finding the House Ethics Committee reached in 2023; the Justice Department launched a new criminal probe into the allegations this year.
- His attorney Sara Azari wrote in a statement Monday that the investigation is a "vehicle for political retaliation," arguing an inquiry producing no prior charges should not be resurrected to punish an outspoken critic of the current administration.
- Attorneys warned FBI Director Kash Patel in March that releasing investigative files would violate federal law and Justice Department policy against election-period action; the White House subsequently released a batch of files.
- Denying all allegations, Swalwell intends to pursue "every available legal remedy" against those he claims orchestrated a "reprehensible campaign of lies" regarding the sexual misconduct allegations and investigations.
