In a significant development, a Trump official has referred Representative Eric Swalwell to the Justice Department for a federal criminal investigation regarding alleged mortgage and tax fraud. Swalwell, a vocal critic of Trump, has become the latest target in what appears to be a campaign against political opponents. This referral centers on a $1.2 million home in Washington, D.C., owned by Swalwell. As the investigation unfolds, Swalwell has publicly denounced the actions as politically motivated, pledging to continue his fight without backing down. This referral adds to a growing list of Democratic officials facing legal scrutiny from the Trump administration.
