FBI seizes Swalwell's devices, executes search warrants in sexual misconduct probe - CBS News

Two sources familiar with the matter told CBS News that agents executed two separate search warrants. The first hit Saturday night when Swalwell landed at San Francisco International Airport. The second targeted his Washington, D.C., residence and was carried out Sunday.

A court filing Tuesday in the Northern District of California confirmed the seized devices. The Daily Mail first reported the searches before CBS News independently confirmed the details through its sources.

Swalwell, who represented California in the House, is no longer in Congress. The probe centers on allegations of sexual misconduct, though the specific allegations have not been detailed in the publicly available court filing.

For Lubbock readers tracking national politics, this one lands differently than the usual D.C. Noise. Federal search warrants on a former member of Congress are rare, and the dual-warrant approach, one airport intercept and one home search on consecutive days, signals investigators moved quickly once they had the legal authority to act.

The full scope of what agents were looking for on those devices has not been disclosed.
