Eric Swalwell Floats Fang Fang Conspiracy Theories While Not Denying Classified Intelligence Report ExistenceMatthew Boyle 27 Aug 2021Washington, DC
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is now floating conspiracy theories about how a Breitbart News story on the existence of a classified report detailing the explicit nature of his relationship with Chinese spy Fang Fang came out—but he is not denying the intelligence report exists.
The saga begins as follows: Back in late July, Breitbart News published an explosive exclusive investigation quoting multiple sources including a former senior national security official and a former senior external adviser to intelligence community leadership revealing the existence of a classified report circulated among intelligence community officials that detailed the nature of Swalwell’s relationship with Fang Fang, a Chinese spy. That she and Swalwell were entangled was long public based off previous reports, but this story revealed the intelligence report that collected a bunch of these details.
Swalwell did not respond to requests for comment for that original story, nor did the White House or Office of the Director of National Intelligence. President Joe Biden, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, or anyone else with original classification authority could order the declassification of the Swalwell report, as Breitbart News reported in that original story.
After the original story published, Fox News host Tucker Carlson did a segment on it—inviting on Breitbart News editor in chief Alex Marlow to discuss it—in which he viciously criticized Swalwell.
