Newly disclosed files have shed light on the extent of Eric Swalwell's relationship with a suspected Chinese spy, revealing that the former congressman admitted to engaging in physical relations with the operative as part of an FBI investigation. The close ties between Swalwell and Christine Fang, also known as "Fang Fang," involved multiple instances of intimate encounters and a collaboration to solicit campaign donations. Swalwell acknowledged meeting Fang in 2012 and engaging in casual relations with her, often communicating through text messages. The newly released investigative documents, created between 2013 and 2015, detail Swalwell's interactions with Fang, including a rendezvous at his apartment where they "hooked up" after he had taken an Ambien.
During an interview at the FBI's Oakland office in 2015, Swalwell disclosed his sexual relationship with the suspected spy and admitted to meeting her for drinks on several occasions. Fang, who was believed to be working for the Chinese Communist Party, also assisted in organizing fundraising events for Swalwell in Las Vegas and California, as per a witness statement. The investigative files, made public by the White House Transparency Task Force, provide insight into the extent of Fang's influence and connections with various politicians and influencers in California and beyond.
Swalwell had previously stated that he severed ties with Fang and cooperated with authorities during the investigation. The release of these documents has sparked renewed interest in the case, with ongoing updates expected as more information becomes available. The revelations surrounding Swalwell's relationship with the suspected Chinese spy have raised concerns about national security and foreign influence in American politics.
