Rep. Eric Swalwell turned to personal attacks on Republicans as he faces intense scrutiny for his China spy scandal.
The Democratic congressman took jabs at Sen. Ted Cruz and Jason Miller, a top strategist for President Trump's reelection campaign, in a flurry of tweets that began late Thursday. Swalwell did so as he avoids questions about his relationship with Christine Fang, a Chinese national believed to be working with China’s Ministry of State Security.
"Ted will fully defend this lawsuit...until it attacks his wife," Swalwell said in one tweet responding to a CNN report about Trump asking Cruz to argue the Texas election lawsuit if it reached the Supreme Court. "ALT: Ted will fully defend this lawsuit...until it attacks his dad," he said in another.
He was drawing attention to personal attacks Trump made on Cruz's family during the 2016 campaign when the two vied for the GOP presidential nomination. The two are now close allies.
