FBI raid on Swalwell probe blindsides accuser’s attorney as investigations escalate

Eric Swalwell’s accuser Lonna Drewes’ attorney says he was caught off guard by the FBI’s actions, noting Drewes has not been contacted by federal investigators even as agents seized Swalwell’s phone and other electronics at a San Francisco airport and later searched his Washington, DC residence. The case, linked to multiple sexual-misconduct allegations that led Swalwell to resign from Congress in 2026, appears to be escalating, with possible information sharing with local authorities involved in Drewes’ report to police.
