An investigation involving former Rep. Eric Swalwell has now led to an FBI raid on a Beverly Hills mansion.
Federal agents executed a search warrant on Tuesday on North Roxbury Drive in a reported connection to the investigation of the former California congressman who resigned earlier this year and withdrew from the California gubernatorial race after allegations of sexual assault, which he has denied.
“We are executing a search warrant. Court documents are sealed. No arrests are planned,” FBI spokesperson Lourdes Arocho said, according to the Los Angeles Times.

“In August, agents seized his electronic devices and raided Swalwell’s Washington home over the weekend, even briefly holding the former lawmaker at San Francisco International Airport, a person familiar with the inquiry told The Times,” the outlet reported.
“Federal prosecutors are using civil rights law to pursue an inquiry into his conduct as a member of Congress. Authorities in New York and Los Angeles County are conducting separate investigations,” the report continued.
The White House declassified documents this week that were related to the investigation of Swalwell’s relationship with suspected Chinese spy, Christine “Fang Fang” Fang. The Democrat admitted to having a physical relationship with the Chinese operative between 2012 and 2015.
“Fang had suspected ties to China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS), and her parents were reportedly considered known Chinese intelligence officers,” Fox News noted.
Swalwell’s last encounter with Fang was in March 2015, according to the documents just released by the White House’s Government Transparency Task Force.
A warrant related to the civil rights probe of the sexual assault allegations led to a search of Swalwell’s home this summer when, according to the Los Angeles Times, “Investigators sought to seize Swalwell’s white iPhone and MacBook Pro, according to court records.”
“They sought the devices as part of their inquiry into whether Swalwell violated a federal law that makes it a crime for anyone acting under official government authority to willfully deprive a person of their constitutional rights, according to the court filings,” the outlet noted.
After more than a dozen years in Congress, the former lawmaker vowed to fight the “false allegations” as he resigned.
“I will fight the serious false allegations made against me,” Swalwell wrote at the time. “However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make.”
