FBI files reveal Swalwell admitted to drug-fueled encounter with suspected Chinese spy Fang Fang
TL;DR
New FBI files released under a White House Transparency initiative reveal that former Rep. Eric Swalwell had at least two physical encounters with Christine Fang—an associate described as a suspected Chinese spy—one at his apartment after he had taken Ambien, which left Swalwell with only hazy memories of the tryst. Fang allegedly cultivated relationships with U.S. politicians, urged Swalwell to visit China, and helped place an intern in Swalwell’s D.C. office. The disclosures are part of a broader counterintelligence probe; Swalwell remains under investigation by agencies and the FPPC, but no charges have been filed against him.
