Congressman Swalwell Demands F.B.I. Transparency on Spy Probe
Representative Eric Swalwell is pressing the FBI for details on a decade-old investigation into a Chinese fund-raiser he was associated with, raising questions about government surveillance and political interference.
Congressman Eric Swalwell, a Democratic Representative from California, has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) demanding the release of case files related to an investigation into a Chinese fundraiser he was associated with over a decade ago. The investigation, which ultimately brought no charges, has recently resurfaced as a point of controversy, with Swalwell claiming the FBI may have mishandled the case and potentially subjected him to unwarranted government surveillance.
The investigation centered around a Chinese national named Fang Fang, who was suspected of being a spy and had developed close ties to several U.S. politicians, including Swalwell. While Swalwell was not accused of any wrongdoing, the case raised concerns about foreign influence in American politics and the potential for abuse of counterintelligence powers.
