The FBI’s investigation into former Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell just took another dramatic turn.
Federal agents raided a mansion in Beverly Hills early Tuesday morning as part of the widening probe, according to a new report.
Federal officials have not disclosed the property’s owner or its precise connection to the investigation.
This is no longer a single search or a routine request for records.
Fox News reported that federal authorities targeted the California mansion Tuesday morning in connection with the Swalwell investigation. The outlet did not identify the owner of the property, disclose what agents were seeking or report any arrest at the scene.
The raid follows a major escalation in August, when agents searched Swalwell’s Washington, D.C., residence and seized electronic devices from him at San Francisco International Airport.
Sources told Fox that the searches were related to a federal investigation into sexual-misconduct allegations. Swalwell was not arrested or detained during those earlier operations.
At least five women have accused the former congressman of rape or other sexual misconduct. Those accusations remain allegations, and Swalwell has denied assaulting anyone.
The unanswered question now is why agents returned to the field more than two months later — and what they believed could be found inside the Beverly Hills property.
Fox also noted that Swalwell spent 13 years in Congress before leaving office in April. His resignation came as House members discussed possible expulsion and his campaign for California governor collapsed under the weight of the accusations.
The report makes Tuesday’s raid the latest step in a months-long federal operation, not an isolated visit to a California address.

The investigation first became public after Swalwell’s political career abruptly unraveled earlier this year.
He ended his campaign for California governor and resigned from Congress in April after multiple women came forward with accusations. One former staffer accused him of assaulting her during a 2024 trip to New York, while another woman alleged that he raped her in Southern California in 2018.
Swalwell said at the time that he would fight what he called “serious false allegations,” while also saying he had to take responsibility for unspecified mistakes.
The Associated Press reported in August that agents seized Swalwell’s phone and laptop at the San Francisco airport and searched his Washington home the following day. The AP said the operation was part of an investigation into the sexual-misconduct allegations, citing a person familiar with the matter who was not authorized to discuss the continuing probe.
The AP also reported that the Manhattan district attorney’s office had opened a separate investigation after a former staffer accused Swalwell of assaulting her in New York. An attorney for another accuser said her legal team was cooperating with law-enforcement agencies.
No criminal charge was announced with the August searches, and none was announced alongside Tuesday’s raid.
That distinction matters: a search warrant means a judge found probable cause to believe evidence connected to a crime would be located at a particular place. It does not establish that the subject of an investigation committed a crime.

The Swalwell story also has a separate counterintelligence chapter.
Earlier this year, the White House released records from a years-old FBI investigation into Christine Fang, a suspected Chinese intelligence operative who developed relationships with political figures in California. The records described Swalwell’s contacts with Fang, but the earlier investigation did not produce charges against him.
That matter is distinct from the sexual-misconduct probe tied to the recent searches.
The newest raid appears to be part of the latter investigation, and the government has not publicly explained whether the Beverly Hills property belongs to an accuser, a witness, a donor, an associate or someone else entirely.
That silence is what makes Tuesday’s development so significant.
Agents do not raid a luxury mansion to stage a press conference. They go because investigators believe the location may contain evidence that matters.
For now, the public knows only this: the investigation that already reached Swalwell’s home, airport luggage and electronic devices has now reached a second coast — and a Beverly Hills mansion.
This story is developing.
