FBI agents confronted Eric Swalwell with a search warrant when he landed at San Francisco Airport Saturday and seized the former congressman’s electronic devices, including his cell phone, as part of a federal criminal investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct, the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal.
The agents, armed with additional court-approved search warrants, then entered his house in Washington, DC, on Sunday, seizing additional undisclosed potential evidence, well-placed sources tell the Daily Mail.
Sources say the former representative started his day Saturday in Washington, where he still maintains a residence with his wife and three children.
He headed to the airport later in the day and flew to his home state of California. The feds were waiting for him when he stepped off the plane.
According to sources, Swalwell was cooperative.
The following day, neither he nor his wife, Brittany Watts, was home when the feds rolled up to their property in Northeast DC.
Swalwell, 45, faces multiple sexual assault allegations.
At least four women have made sexual misconduct allegations, including a former staffer who claimed the married politician raped her twice when she was too intoxicated to consent in 2019 and 2024. (Read more: Daily Mail, 8/20/2026) (Archive)
