FBI Briefs House Leaders on Rep. Swalwell’s Links to Purported Chinese Spy
House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said he and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) were briefed on Friday about a Chinese Communist spy’s alleged relationship with a Democratic member of Congress.
McCarthy told Fox News that Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.)—who was the subject of an explosive Axios report detailing how a young female spy named Fang Fang was allegedly able to get into his inner circle—shouldn’t be allowed on the House Intelligence Committee.
“He should not be on Intel,” McCarthy told reporters after meeting with the FBI. “I just think there are definitely 200 other Democrats that I know could fill that place,” McCarthy added.
