A top Democrat in the House of Representatives on Wednesday said he has “full confidence” in Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) after reports that one of Swalwell’s fundraisers in years past was a Chinese spy.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), chair of the House Democratic Caucus, echoed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), whose office has told reporters she backs Swalwell despite the reports.
