Declassified FBI Files Detail Swalwell’s Relationship With Suspected Chinese Spy

Nearly 150 pages of files describe sexual encounters, illicit donations and intern placements tied to the suspected spy, officials said.

  • Newly declassified FBI records describe a yearslong investigation into former Rep. Eric Swalwell’s contacts with Christine Fang, a suspected Chinese intelligence operative who cultivated relationships with U.S. political figures.
  • The files indicate that investigators examined allegations that campaign contributions were routed through third parties and foreign nationals in connection with congressional internships, although they did not establish sufficient evidence to charge Swalwell himself.
  • FBI records also document a personal relationship between Swalwell and Fang, while investigators assessed whether her activities could have created a national-security vulnerability for the California Democrat.
  • The investigation ultimately did not result in charges against Swalwell or Fang, with the FBI citing national-security considerations when it closed the case after Fang left the United States.
