The FBI executed a search warrant at the home of former U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell as part of an investigation into sexual assault allegations. The operation took place in Washington, D.C., according to reports from multiple sources.

Federal agents reportedly seized electronic devices belonging to Swalwell, with the search occurring over the weekend. This is part of a broader inquiry into allegations of sexual misconduct against him.

Prior to the FBI's action, Swalwell had resigned from Congress in April, distancing himself amid the allegations. He was also a vocal critic of former President Trump.

The details surrounding the allegations and the specifics of the investigation have not been made public, as the inquiry by law enforcement continues.
