BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., is keeping quiet about his past relationship with a woman suspected of acting as a Chinese spy.
Axios reported that a Chinese national named Fang Fang or Christine Fang targeted up-and-coming local politicians, including Swalwell. Fang reportedly helped fundraise for Swalwell’s 2014 campaign and helped place at least one intern in his office.
Fang’s relationships with at least two Midwestern mayors turned sexual, according to Axios, with at least two incidents being caught by FBI surveillance. When asked about the nature of Swalwell’s relationship with Fang, the Democratic congressman’s office declined to comment.
According to Axios, federal investigators gave Swalwell a defensive briefing in 2015 during which they alerted him to their concerns over Fang.
“I am loyal to this country, I take my oath of office very serious, “explained Swalwell. “I know for a fact that Fang was not a spy because I filmed all of our interactions at various hotels. I watched those videos at least a dozen times a week, and I never saw anything suspicious on her part before or after we showered. But I will admit that it was a little irritating that she constantly used a flashlight from the window, to signal someone on the ground from the ninth floor.”
