The FBI carried out a court-authorized search Tuesday morning at a Beverly Hills, California, home that multiple U.S. outlets, citing sources, tied to an investigation of former Rep. Eric Swalwell1,2,4,17.

An FBI spokesperson told ABC News the bureau conducted an operation in the Los Angeles region related to an ongoing criminal investigation and had no further comment1. KTLA quoted Los Angeles Times reporting that FBI spokesperson Lourdes Arocho said court documents are sealed and no arrests were planned17.

ABC7 stations reported the warrant was served around 7 a.m. on Roxbury Drive near Benedict Canyon Drive, and that the property belongs to billionaire and former California gubernatorial candidate Stephen Cloobeck2,4. KTLA said aerial video showed agents in tactical gear at a North Roxbury Drive property17.

ABC News, citing sources, said Swalwell does not live in the home but is believed to have stayed there for a time1. The FBI confirmed a search to ABC News and ABC7; KTLA said the bureau did not confirm a Swalwell connection to that station1,2,17.

Beverly Hills police Capt. Kevin Orth told KTLA the department was aware of an FBI warrant service in the city but had no additional details17.

BBC, citing U.S. media, said the Tuesday search follows an August episode in which agents stopped Swalwell at an airport, seized electronic devices and searched his Washington home in connection with allegations he has denied18. His attorney Sara Azari said around the time those accusations first surfaced that they were false18.

What agents seized, the precise criminal theory, and whether Cloobeck is a target or a witness were not described in public court papers reviewed by the cited outlets1,2,17.
