Top Dems go silent after McCarthy vindicated for booting Swalwell off intel committee
2026-08-21
[FOX] "No concern." "Pernicious nonsense." "Spurious allegations." A "frivolous, political exercise."

Those were among the defenses senior Democrats mounted on former Rep. Eric Swalwell’s behalf as former GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy tried to force the California Democrat off the powerful House Intelligence Committee over his relationship with suspected Chinese intelligence operative Christine "Fang Fang" Fang.

Now, newly declassified FBI records and a raid on his home are casting fresh light on Swalwell's relationship with Fang that Democrats denied and previously argued did not justify McCarthy’s actions.

The newly declassified records, released by the White House Government Transparency Task Force Monday, detail two FBI interviews with Swalwell, both conducted as part of a broader investigation examining Fang’s involvement with illicit campaign contributions, funneling interns to Swalwell's office and other activity.
