Federal agents seized electronic devices from former Rep. Eric Swalwell and searched his Washington, D.C., home as part of an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct by the ex-Democratic congressman from California, according to The Associated Press and NBC News.
Swalwell was stopped by the FBI at the San Francisco airport on Saturday and his electronic devices were taken as part of the execution of a search warrant, a person familiar with the matter told NBC News.
Agents executed a search warrant at his home a day later, said the person, who was not authorized to publicly discuss an ongoing investigation and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
An attorney for Swalwell did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Swalwell has previously denied allegations of sexual assault and misconduct.
The FBI declined to comment on the warrants.
