BEVERLY HILLS – Federal authorities raided a California mansion belonging to billionaire Stephen Cloobeck on Tuesday morning, Fox News has learned.
The FBI targeted Cloobeck’s Beverly Hills mansion in connection with an investigation into disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif. Swalwell resigned from Congress and withdrew from the California gubernatorial race earlier this year after facing multiple accusations of sexual misconduct.
Law enforcement executed the raid at roughly 6 a.m. local time with at least two dozen agents participating. Authorities searched the massive property for several hours but offered no details about what they found.
Several people were taken out of the house in handcuffs, but they were all released soon after. Cloobeck was not at the residence at the time of the raid.
The raid was linked to a sex worker reportedly connected to the investigation.
Cloobeck is a longtime supporter of Swalwell’s political campaigns.
