华盛顿讯——两位知情人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露,联邦调查局(FBI)特工上周末就前民主党众议员埃里克·斯瓦威尔的性行为不端刑事调查对其执行搜查令,并扣押了他的电子设备。
消息人士称,其中一份搜查令于周六晚间斯瓦威尔抵达旧金山国际机场后执行,另一份针对其住所,于周日执行。《每日邮报》最先报道了此次搜查行动。
此次搜查令消息传出的数月前,斯瓦威尔因多名女性指控其性侵及其他不当行为,于4月结束州长竞选并辞去国会职务。
斯瓦威尔2013年起代表湾区选区,直至辞职卸任。他面临多名女性的多项指控,包括强奸、未经请求发送露骨信息和裸照,促使两党组成的众议院道德委员会启动调查。但由于该委员会仅对现任议员和工作人员拥有管辖权,随着斯瓦威尔辞去国会职务,调查随之终止。
斯瓦威尔承认自己“判断失误”,但称一项性侵指控“不实”,并誓言将抗争到底。
周一,白宫还公布了联邦调查局十多年前针对斯瓦威尔涉嫌与一名疑似间谍存在关系的调查的解密文件。这份97页的文件源自联邦调查局对斯瓦威尔及其2015年与克里斯汀·方的关系的调查,克里斯汀·方被怀疑是中国情报人员。白宫公布的许多细节早已公开,且斯瓦威尔从未因此事受到指控。
消息人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露,联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔一直推动公布针对斯瓦威尔的调查文件,这一细节最先由《华盛顿邮报》报道。

Washington — FBI agents executed search warrants targeting former Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell over the weekend and seized his electronic devices, two sources familiar with the matter told CBS News, as part of a criminal probe into allegations of sexual misconduct by the former lawmaker.
One of the warrants was executed Saturday night after Swalwell landed at San Francisco International Airport, the sources said. The second targeted his residence and was executed on Sunday. The Daily Mail first reported the searches.
News of the warrants comes months after Swalwell ended his gubernatorial bid and resigned from Congress in April over allegations of sexual assault and other misconduct from several women.
Swalwell, who represented Bay-Area districts from 2013 until his resignation, faced accusations from multiple women, including rape and unsolicited explicit messages and nude photos, prompting the bipartisan House Ethics Committee to launch an investigation. But the probe ended with Swalwell’s resignation from Congress, since the committee only has jurisdiction over current members and staff.
Swalwell acknowledged making “mistakes in judgment,” but said an assault allegation was “false” and vowed to fight it.
On Monday, the White House also released declassified documents on the FBI’s investigation into Swalwell regarding his alleged relationship with a suspected spy more than a decade ago. The 97-page documents stem from the FBI’s investigation into Swalwell and his 2015 relationship with Christine Fang, a suspected Chinese intelligence operative. Many of the details provided by the administration were already publicly known, and Swalwell was never charged in the matter.
Sources told CBS News that FBI Director Kash Patel had been pressing to release the files from the investigation into Swalwell, a detail that was first reported by The Washington Post.
