The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Federal agents seized former Rep. Eric Swalwell’s cellphone and other electronic devices at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday after serving a search warrant, then searched his Washington, D.C., home on Sunday. The actions are part of a federal criminal investigation into sexual misconduct and sexual assault allegations against the California Democrat. Swalwell resigned from Congress in April and dropped his campaign for California governor after multiple women accused him of misconduct. Investigators are also examining whether he used his office to intimidate witnesses.
