Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) revealed on Tuesday that Chinese Communist Party (CCP) spies targeted several members of Congress—other than Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), who was the subject of reports that he was compromised by a Chinese spy.

“We know that members of Congress, especially those who serve in very sensitive positions are targeted. That’s just a matter of course that we know that from our own experience, and that shouldn’t surprise anyone,” Stewart told Fox News. “We know the Chinese Communist Party is targeting businesses, academics, they’re targeting members of Congress, members of the Senate, members of the administration. That shouldn’t surprise anyone.”
