FBI Executes Search Warrant at Beverly Hills Donor Mansion in Federal Probe of Eric Swalwell
What happened
Federal agents executed a sealed search warrant at the Beverly Hills residence of donor Stephen Cloobeck on October 27, 2026, targeting devices and records linked to an ongoing criminal investigation into former U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell.
The Context
- The underlying probe: Swalwell resigned from Congress and exited the California gubernatorial race in April 2026 following public accusations of sexual assault and misconduct by multiple individuals, including former staff members.
- The donor property: The North Roxbury Drive mansion belongs to Cloobeck, who previously hosted Swalwell during his political campaign before publicly distancing himself once the claims surfaced.
- The escalation of evidence collection: This Beverly Hills operation follows an August 2026 seizure of Swalwell's personal devices under a federal civil rights statute, focusing on potential abuse of official power.
The Number
The number of women who publicly accused Swalwell of sexual misconduct, triggering his April 2026 political exit and the subsequent federal actions.
Takeaway
Federal investigators will review the seized electronic records to determine whether to present formal criminal charges to a grand jury in the coming months.
