Federal agents searched the Beverly Hills mansion of Stephen Cloobeck, a wealthy developer and major donor to ex-Congressman Eric Swalwell, on Tuesday as part of an ongoing federal investigation. The FBI conducted the search, which was related to accusations of sexual misconduct against Swalwell. Agents carried high-powered rifles and used night-vision goggles during the operation at Cloobeck’s $26 million property. Cloobeck had cut ties with Swalwell in April amid mounting allegations but remained a significant benefactor, contributing over $1 million to Swalwell's gubernatorial bid. Swalwell has denied any criminal wrongdoing and is under investigation by multiple authorities due to accusations of sexual assault and rape from several women.
