New video shows FBI agents confront former Rep. Eric Swalwell at airport in August<\/p>\n

\"DefaultSAN FRANCISCO \u2014<\/p>\n

Newly released surveillance video shows the moment FBI agents confronted former Rep. Eric Swalwell at San Francisco International Airport in August. <\/p>\n

See the surveillance video in the player above.<\/p>\n

The footage from Aug. 15 shows agents in plain clothes approaching and surrounding Swalwell near the gate shortly after he exited a plane. Swalwell, wearing a black hoodie and baseball cap, appeared to hand a cellphone to one of the agents before being escorted into a restricted area. <\/p>\n

Court records show that agents seized a phone, a charging cable and a laptop during the encounter. <\/p>\n

The FBI is investigating Swalwell<\/a> over allegations of sexual misconduct. <\/p>\n

The ex-Democratic congressman from California announced his resignation<\/a> from Congress in April following allegations that Swalwell had sexually assaulted a woman twice, including when she worked for him. Three other women have alleged various kinds of sexual misconduct by Swalwell, including sending them unsolicited explicit messages or nude photos. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New video shows FBI agents confront former Rep.
