Fang Fang recommended Swalwell interns could raise concerns in Congress
The records say Fang helped place an intern in Swalwell’s office and routed campaign donations through conduits, while the FBI found no crime.
- The FBI recently searched the Washington, D.C., home of Democratic California Congressman Eric Swalwell and seized two of his devices in San Francisco, according to reports.
- Newly released documents detail a 2013 to 2014 FBI investigation into Swalwell's relationship with suspected Chinese intelligence operative Christine Fang, who allegedly facilitated illegal campaign contributions and placed interns in his office.
- Fang reportedly offered to arrange meetings with Swalwell for a $5,000 contribution, while investigators found she used conduits to conceal herself as a prohibited foreign source for campaign donations.
- Then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy removed Swalwell from the House Intelligence Committee in 2023, citing FBI briefings that raised concerns about his judgment regarding noncitizens serving as congressional interns.
- Swalwell also faces separate sexual misconduct allegations from at least six women, including Lonna Drewes, who accused the former congressman of drugging her drink in 2018; Swalwell has denied the allegations.
