FBI Executes Search Warrant at Beverly Hills Mansion Linked to Former Representative Eric Swalwell

The North Roxbury Drive estate belongs to billionaire developer Stephen Cloobeck. Swalwell frequently stayed at the estate and held fundraisers there before the donor publicly cut ties with him earlier this year.

Before his political downfall, the seven term California Democrat was the frontrunner to become the state's next governor. His campaign collapsed after a San Francisco Chronicle investigation detailed claims from four women, including a former staffer who alleged a 2024 assault at a New York hotel. Within a day of the report, dozens of lawmakers pulled their endorsements, forcing him to end his race for governor and leave Congress ahead of a planned expulsion vote.

Beyond the federal inquiry, local prosecutors in New York and Los Angeles have opened separate criminal investigations into alleged hotel assaults from 2018 and 2024. Swalwell has denied all wrongdoing, and his legal team maintains the accusations are part of a political smear campaign.

1. Federal prosecutors are reviewing potential violations of federal civil rights statutes. The inquiry examines whether he willfully deprived an individual of constitutional rights while acting under official government authority.

2. Investigators sought to seize Eric Swalwell’s white iPhone and MacBook Pro during the search of the property.

3. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department opened separate criminal investigations into Swalwell.

4. Eric Swalwell resigned from Congress in April 2026. He ended his gubernatorial campaign in April 2026 after facing sexual misconduct allegations.

5. One allegation against Swalwell includes a claim from a former staffer that he raped her.

1. Swalwell’s attorney stated that the former congressman categorically and unequivocally denies every allegation of sexual misconduct and criminal wrongdoing leveled against him.

2. FBI spokesperson Lourdes Arocho told the Los Angeles Times that while federal agents executed a search warrant at the Beverly Hills property, the underlying court documents remain sealed and no arrests are planned.

3. Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman stated that no criminal charges have been filed against Swalwell locally, noting that prosecutors will only make a filing decision if law enforcement presents sufficient evidence.

4. In response to renewed federal scrutiny, Swalwell’s legal team argued that the former congressman is the target of a politically motivated smear campaign and retaliation following his tenure as a prominent critic of President Donald Trump.
