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.
