Summary
Federal agents searched a Beverly Hills mansion Tuesday in an investigation tied to former Rep. Eric Swalwell, expanding a probe that already reached his Washington home.
August searches of Swalwell’s D.C. residence and the seizure of his electronic devices at San Francisco International Airport were linked by sources to sexual-misconduct allegations; he was not arrested.
At least five women, including a former staffer, have accused Swalwell of sexual misconduct or rape, allegations that helped drive his resignation from Congress and exit from California’s governor race earlier this year.
Declassified FBI records released Monday also renewed scrutiny of Swalwell’s past relationship with Christine Fang, a suspected Chinese intelligence operative, with the former congressman telling agents they had sexual relations several times through March 2015.
