Swalwell resigned in April after assault allegations
Federal agents seized electronic devices from former Rep. Eric Swalwell and searched his home as part of an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct by the ex-Democratic lawmaker from California, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Federal agents took the devices at the San Francisco airport on Saturday and executed a search warrant at his home the following day, said the person, who was not authorized to publicly discuss an ongoing investigation and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
A message seeking comment was left Thursday with an attorney for Swalwell, who has denied allegations of sexual assault and misconduct.
Swalwell announced his resignation from Congress in April following allegations that Swalwell had sexually assaulted a woman twice, including when she worked for him. The San Francisco Chronicle, followed by CNN, first reported the allegations.
CNN also reported that three other women alleged various kinds of sexual misconduct by Swalwell, including sending them unsolicited explicit messages or nude photos.
