FBI agents just swiped Eric Swalwell's gadgets at the airport
Talk about a rough travel day: the Feds intercepted the former congressman upon landing to collect his electronics as part of a mounting criminal probe.
Things have gone from bad to worse for former Representative Eric Swalwell. Agents caught up with him at the San Francisco International Airport, serving a warrant right on the tarmac to grab his devices. They didn't stop there, either—his house in Washington, D.C. got the same treatment shortly after.
This isn't just about some old drama. The search is part of a serious criminal investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct, including claims of rape and non-consensual explicit messages. While he stepped down from his seat and quit his gubernatorial run earlier this year, the legal walls are clearly closing in.
He has dismissed the assault claims as fake while admitting to certain mistakes in judgment. With the Manhattan District Attorney and Los Angeles County Sheriff now circling, it seems the days of smooth sailing for the former politician are well and truly over.
It turns out that resigning from office does not actually grant one immunity from the legal system.
