Declassified FBI files reveal suspected Chinese spy solicited illegal donations for Swalwell's campaign
Newly declassified FBI documents show a suspected Chinese intelligence operative solicited illegal campaign contributions for then-Rep. Eric Swalwell, and the case was dropped for "national security reasons" without a single charge filed.The White House released the files Monday, pulling back the curtain on a three-year FBI undercover operation codenamed "Freshman Fifteen" that targeted the California Democrat and a woman named Fang Fang, also known as Christine Fang. The documents detail a web of straw donations from foreign nationals, cash smuggling, destroyed records, and false statements, all tied to a woman whose parents the FBI identified as "known intelligence officers" in China's Ministry of State Security.
Swalwell, 45, resigned from Congress in April and did not respond to requests for comment on the disclosures. His attorney dismissed the release as a political hit job. But the FBI's own memos, dated June 2014 and May 2017, paint a picture of a sitting congressman whose office was penetrated by a foreign operative, and a federal government that chose to look the other way rather than prosecute. The New York Post reported on the declassified files in detail.
The probe began with a tip: internships in Swalwell's congressional office were being traded for campaign contributions. An FBI memo dated June 10, 2014, described the arrangement plainly.
