FBI documents reveal former Congressman Eric Swalwell admitted to having physical relations with suspected Chinese intelligence operative Christine Fang — multiple times, including a late-night encounter he barely remembers due to sleep aids — all before his 2013 election. Though Swalwell insists the relationship was purely casual and never romantic, he acknowledged she may have wanted more. The FBI investigated whether Fang exploited their connection to funnel campaign resources into his office, but found no evidence of wrongdoing by Swalwell — though Fang herself violated federal election laws. The bureau had previously tried to recruit her as a confidential source, suspecting her ties to China, and she reportedly encouraged Swalwell to travel there repeatedly.
