华盛顿，8月20日（路透社）——据一位了解调查情况的消息人士透露，联邦调查局（FBI）搜查了前民主党众议员埃里克·斯沃威尔的一处住宅，作为对他性行为不端指控调查的一部分。斯沃威尔在辞职前曾是唐纳德·特朗普总统的主要批评者之一。
该消息人士称，FBI特工上周末在旧金山国际机场从斯沃威尔处扣押了电子设备，并搜查了他在华盛顿特区的住宅。

斯沃威尔的律师未立即回复置评请求。
今年4月，四名女性指控斯沃威尔存在包括性侵在内的性行为不端行为，包括发送未经请求的露骨图片，随后斯沃威尔辞去了国会席位，并退出了加利福尼亚州州长竞选。斯沃威尔曾为自己“判断失误”道歉，但称这些指控是虚假的，并誓言将抗争到底。
纽约和洛杉矶当地执法部门已宣布对所指控的性侵行为展开调查，美国国土安全部表示，已就斯沃威尔非法雇佣一名巴西保姆的指控展开调查。
FBI的搜查行动最早由美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）报道。
斯沃威尔于2012年首次当选国会议员，作为特朗普的知名批评者获得全国知名度，并在2019年短暂竞选总统。在退选前，他曾被视为今年加利福尼亚州州长竞选的主要候选人之一。

WASHINGTON, Aug 20 (Reuters) – The FBI has raided a home belonging to former Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell, a prominent antagonist of President Donald Trump before he resigned from Congress, as part of an investigation into sexual misconduct claims against him, according to a source familiar with the investigation.
FBI agents seized electronic devices from Swalwell at the San Francisco International Airport and searched his home in Washington, D.C. last weekend, the source said.

A lawyer for Swalwell did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Swalwell resigned his seat in Congress and dropped out of the race for California governor in April after four women accused him of sexual misconduct, ranging from sexual assault to sending unsolicited explicit images. Swalwell has apologized for “mistakes in judgment” but has said the allegations are false and has vowed to fight them.
Local law enforcement in New York and Los Angeles have announced investigations into the alleged assaults, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has said it has looked into allegations Swalwell illegally employed a Brazilian nanny.
The FBI raid was first reported by CNN.
Swalwell, first elected to Congress in 2012, gained a national profile as a prominent Trump critic and mounted a brief run for president in 2019. He was considered a leading contender in this year’s California governor race before he dropped out.
