The FBI raided the Washington D.C. home of former Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell as part of an investigation into sexual misconduct claims against him. Federal agents reportedly seized electronic devices from Swalwell at San Francisco International Airport and searched his home last weekend. Swalwell resigned his seat in Congress in April after four women accused him of sexual misconduct, including sexual assault and sending unsolicited explicit images. Swalwell has apologized for "mistakes in judgment" but stated the allegations are false and vowed to fight them. The U.S. Department of Justice opened an investigation into the legislator following his resignation. Swalwell, first elected to Congress in 2012, gained national prominence as a critic of President Donald Trump.
