The FBI searched a Beverly Hills mansion in connection to an investigation into former Rep. Eric Swalwell, according to two people familiar with the probe. The home is owned by a Swalwell donor, one of the people said.

CNN has reached out to the FBI and a lawyer for Swalwell for comment.

Swalwell has been the subject of federal and state investigations.

The Democrat resigned from Congress and dropped his gubernatorial bid in April after reporting from CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle detailed allegations of sexual misconduct, including one former staffer who said he had raped her.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department opened criminal investigations into Swalwell in the wake of the reporting.

In August, federal agents seized electronic devices from Swalwell at the San Francisco airport and then raided his home in Washington, DC, the next day as part of an ongoing probe connected to sexual assault allegations, sources familiar with the investigation told CNN at the time.

据两名知情人士透露，联邦调查局搜查了比佛利山庄的一处豪宅，此举与对前众议员埃里克·斯瓦尔韦尔的调查有关。其中一位知情人士称，这处房产的所有者是斯瓦尔韦尔的一位捐款人。

CNN已联系FBI和斯瓦尔韦尔的律师寻求置评。

斯瓦尔韦尔一直是联邦和州政府调查的对象。

在 CNN 和《旧金山纪事报》详细报道了有关他性行为不端的指控后，这位民主党人在 4 月份辞去了国会议员的职务，并放弃了州长竞选。这些报道中还包括一名前工作人员称他强奸了她。

报道发布后，曼哈顿地区检察官办公室和洛杉矶县警局对斯瓦尔韦尔展开了刑事调查。

据当时熟悉调查情况的消息人士告诉 CNN，8 月份，联邦特工在旧金山机场从斯瓦尔韦尔身上查获了电子设备，第二天又突袭了他在华盛顿特区的住所，这是与性侵指控有关的持续调查的一部分。

此事件仍在发展中，我们将持续更新报道。
