\n\tFormer Rep. Eric Swalwell<\/a>\u2019s electronic devices were seized this week in dual operations at a California airport, and his home in Washington, D.C. The Democrat, who resigned from Congress<\/a> in April amid allegations of sexual misconduct and assault by multiple women, is being investigated on grounds of sexual assault.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tAccording to The Daily Mail, <\/em>Swalwell was first confronted on Saturday at the San Francisco airport by FBI agents, who seized his cell phone and electronic devices. They also raided the Swalwell family home in D.C. on Sunday, removing additional property from the residence as evidence. Swalwell has not yet been charged with any crimes related to the allegations against him, and it\u2019s unclear if any of his alleged victims are cooperating with the federal probe. Swalwell is being investigated for his alleged sexual misconduct by law enforcement officials in New York and California. He was previously a consistent target of House Republicans<\/a>, who probed him for an alleged relationship with a Chinese intelligence operative. He was also previously targeted<\/a> by FBI Director Kash Patel, who has maintained a slow dribble of salacious leaks<\/a> related to Swalwell\u2019s foreign contacts.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tIn April, as Swalwell pursued a bid to replace outgoing California Governor Gavin Newsom, four women came forward. Lonna Drewes \u2014 a Claifornia-based former model and fashion entrepreneur \u2014 claims that in 2018, the Democratic lawmaker drugged and raped her.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWe were supposed to go to a political event and he said he needed to get paperwork from his hotel room,\u201d Drewes said<\/a> during a press conference in April. \u201cWhen I arrived at his hotel room I was already incapacitated, I couldn\u2019t move my arms or my body. He raped me and he choked me and while he was choking me I lost consciousness and I thought I died.\u201d<\/p>\n
