The Federal Bureau of Investigation executed a search at a Beverly Hills property linked to the California Democrat on Tuesday, marking an escalation in federal scrutiny of the former congressman.
Swalwell, who represented California's 15th congressional district until January 2023, has not been accused of wrongdoing in connection with the search. Federal authorities did not immediately disclose details regarding the investigation or the specific grounds for the warrant.
The property searched is among assets connected to Swalwell, according to public records. Swalwell's office has not yet responded to requests for comment regarding the FBI's action.
The search represents the latest development involving the prominent Democratic figure, who previously faced scrutiny over his relationship with a Chinese intelligence operative during his time in Congress. Swalwell has maintained his innocence regarding that matter.
