Former Representative Eric Swalwell is the subject of multiple criminal investigations involving allegations of sexual assault and misconduct. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office sex crimes unit began reviewing a case following a referral from the Los Angeles County sheriff’s victims’ unit in September 2026. These allegations include claims from at least five women, including a former congressional staffer and one accusation of drugging and sexual assault. Federal involvement has escalated, with the FBI previously seizing electronic devices from Swalwell’s Washington, D.C., home and at a San Francisco airport in August. On October 27, 2026, federal agents executed a search warrant at a Beverly Hills mansion on North Roxbury Drive. The residence is reportedly owned by billionaire developer and political donor Stephen Cloobeck, a supporter of Swalwell’s gubernatorial campaign. Law enforcement sources indicated that investigators were seeking electronic devices and records related to prostitution. Investigators are reportedly utilizing federal civil rights statutes to determine if Swalwell used official government power to silence accusers. Additionally, declassified White House documents have recently detailed a past physical relationship between Swalwell and Christine Fang, a suspected Chinese intelligence operative, which took place between 2012 and 2015. The FBI has confirmed the execution of a search warrant in the Los Angeles region but stated that court documents remain sealed and no arrests are currently planned. Swalwell has denied all allegations of criminal ~~wrongdoing.~~ wrongdoing, characterizing them as false and politically motivated.
