Several House Republican leaders signed a letter demanding House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) remove Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) from the House Intelligence Committee after a report found he was targeted by a suspected Chinese Communist Party (CCP) spy.
“We write to you today out of concern with Congressman Eric Swalwell’s reported, close contacts with a Chinese Communist Party spy recently reported by Axios. Because of Rep. Swalwell’s position on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence [HPSCI], his close interactions with Chinese intelligence services, however unintentional they may be, are an unacceptable national security risk,” the Republicans told Pelosi in the letter (pdf).
