FBI confirms search of Beverly Hills home tied to Swalwell investigation
The FBI confirmed to ABC News that it searched a Beverly Hills home connected to its investigation of former Rep. Eric Swalwell, and the Guardian, citing the AP, identifies the home as donor Stephen Cloobeck's.
The FBI has confirmed it searched a home connected to former Rep. Eric Swalwell, ABC News reports. Earlier coverage had relied on anonymous sources.
The Guardian, citing the Associated Press, says agents searched the Beverly Hills home of developer and Swalwell donor Stephen Cloobeck early on Tuesday. The AP's sources were a law enforcement official and two people familiar with the investigation, who spoke anonymously. They said Swalwell, a Democrat, spent time at the home before he resigned from Congress in April. The Hill, citing CNN and two people familiar with the probe, also reports the search of a mansion owned by a Swalwell donor.
Swalwell resigned amid sexual misconduct allegations. Fox News reports at least five women have accused him. CBS News says he also dropped out of the governor's race and describes the allegations as sexual assault. The BBC says he has denied the misconduct allegations.
