Federal agents initiated a series of enforcement actions this past weekend as part of an active investigation into sexual misconduct allegations involving former Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell. On Saturday, authorities seized electronic devices from the former lawmaker at the San Francisco airport. This action was followed on Sunday by a search of his residence in Washington, DC.
