Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) on Monday claimed that the leak of his relationship with an alleged Chinese spy was “retaliation.”
Asked during an appearance on CNN about how much contact he had with Fang Fang, the purported spy, Swalwell said: “This is a 2015 meeting about a person that I had as a volunteer back in 2012 on the campaign. The FBI has said I did nothing wrong. Don’t take it from me. There was no wrongdoing. I’ve learned nothing new.”
