- Federal agents confronted former Representative Eric Swalwell at a San Francisco airport on Saturday before raiding his Washington, D.C., home on Sunday to seize electronic devices as part of an ongoing investigation, according to reports.
- Swalwell, who represented California for 13 years in Congress, resigned in April following public allegations from multiple women detailing sexual misconduct, drugging and rape.
- Swalwell has denied all allegations through his attorney, even as the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, and the House Ethics Committee launched probes into his conduct.
- Before suspending his campaign due to the scandal, Swalwell was the leading Democratic candidate in the race to succeed California Governor Gavin Newsom.
- Although the exact focus of the federal search remains unconfirmed, it follows the recent release of files by the White House Transparency Task Force regarding Swalwell's alleged relationship with a suspected Chinese operative.
