FBI agents executed a search warrant on Tuesday, 27 October 2026, at a mansion on North Roxbury Drive, Beverly Hills, belonging to Stephen Cloobeck, founder of Diamond Resorts International and a former donor to former Representative Eric Swalwell. The raid took place at about 6 to 7 a.m. Pacific Time, 9 to 10 a.m. Eastern Time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A senior law-enforcement official told Reuters agents sought electronic devices and records pertaining to prostitution, and the search is connected to the investigation into Swalwell. Cloobeck was not home, nobody was arrested, court documents are sealed, and FBI spokesperson Lourdes Arocho confirmed only an operation in the Los Angeles region related to an ongoing criminal investigation, with no arrests planned. On 28 October, Cloobeck was spotted outside the 26 million dollar mansion the day after the raid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Background matters here. In August, the FBI searched Swalwell’s Washington, DC home and seized his devices at San Francisco International Airport. Swalwell resigned from Congress and dropped out of the California governor race in April after four women accused him of sexual misconduct ranging from sexual assault to sending unsolicited explicit images. Swalwell has apologised for mistakes in judgment but says the allegations are false and has vowed to fight them. No criminal charges against Swalwell had been filed as of the 27-28 October reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is confirmed is the search, its location, its connection to the Swalwell probe, and that no arrests were made. What is not confirmed is what was seized, whether Cloobeck is a target, or a single-source claim that several people were led out in handcuffs then released. That handcuffs detail was not reported by AP, ABC7, LA Times or Newsweek in the summaries reviewed, so it should not be presented as fact. Do not present Cloobeck as a target; reporting does not establish he is a target, only that his home was searched in the probe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The story travels because it combines a dawn raid, a billionaire’s mansion, a fallen congressman, a sealed warrant and a prostitution-records search, with cameras and no answers about what was taken. That suspense, and the question of what comes next, is why it became a headline story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
