Federal authorities previously searched the former congressman's DC home and seized his electronic devices in August
Swalwell also faced renewed scrutiny earlier this week after the White House declassified documents related to an FBI probe into his relationship with Christine "Fang Fang" Fang, a suspected Chinese intelligence operative. Swalwell told FBI agents he had "physical relations" with Fang on a handful of occasions, according to declassified FBI records released Monday by the White House.
Their last sexual encounter occurred in March 2015, according to Swalwell’s account in the FBI records.
The documents were released by the White House's new Government Transparency Task Force.
Swalwell was interviewed by the FBI first in May 2015 and later in March 2016 regarding his relationship with Fang.
Fang had suspected ties to China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS), and her parents were reportedly considered known Chinese intelligence officers.
Lonna Drewes, a woman with sexual misconduct allegations against U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell, reacts as she holds a press conference with her attorneys Lisa Bloom and Arick Fudali in Beverly Hills, California, on April 14, 2026.
The former lawmaker left office in April after being threatened with expulsion from the House before his exit. He spent 13 years as a member of Congress.
"I will fight the serious false allegations made against me," Swalwell wrote at the time of his resignation. "However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make."
