Fresh FBI Records Reframe Swalwell-Fang Saga as Counterintelligence Concern
TL;DR
Declassified FBI files reveal that investigations into Rep. Eric Swalwell’s ties to alleged Chinese agent Christine Fang extended beyond the romance, detailing two FBI interviews and a broader probe into possible bribery, foreign campaign contributions and efforts to trade access to Swalwell and internships for donations, with agents viewing Fang as a significant counterintelligence risk tied to China’s MSS. The disclosures accompany a raid on Swalwell’s home and device seizures, and come after longtime Democrats like Pelosi and Schiff defended him while McCarthy pressed to remove him from Intel, highlighting a renewed focus on national-security concerns surrounding Swalwell.
