On October 27 federal agents executed a search warrant at a Beverly Hills mansion owned by billionaire timeshare mogul Stephen Klubeck, a major donor to Eric Swalwell's brief gubernatorial campaign. It is the second round of federal action in the Swalwell case, following August seizures of his phone and laptop and a search of his D.C. home. Records remain sealed and no arrests are planned. Reporting links the raid to a sex worker and to the DOJ pursuing the case under federal civil rights law.
