BBC • • nation
Key Points:
- FBI officers raided a Beverly Hills home linked to billionaire Stephen Cloobeck as part of the ongoing criminal investigation into former Congressman Eric Swalwell.
- Swalwell, who dropped out of California's governor race and resigned from Congress amid multiple sexual misconduct allegations, denies all accusations, calling them politically motivated.
- The FBI previously seized Swalwell's electronic devices and raided his Washington DC home in August related to the same investigation.
- Allegations against Swalwell include claims of rape while the victim was intoxicated and sending unsolicited nude photos; he faces separate probes in New York City and Los Angeles but has not been criminally charged.
- Once a prominent Democrat and frequent critic of former President Trump, Swalwell's political career was derailed following the emergence of these allegations.
