WASHINGTON — Eric Swalwell leveraged his past romantic relationship with Katie Miller, wife of top Trump official Stephen Miller, to keep potentially embarrassing FBI files behind lock and key, a shocking new report revealed Thursday.
The news that the disgraced former Democratic Congressman from California — who resigned after several women claimed sexual assault and rape — once dated the now-wife of a top conservative leader stunned Washington.
“I was an intern working on Capitol Hill,” Miller posted on X about the situation.
Then Katie Waldman worked as both an intern and communications director on Capitol Hill in her 20s before moving to the executive branch in 2017. The relationship with Swalwell was before she met her now-husband.
And, in a stunning twist, Swalwell used the past relationship to quash the release of FBI files detailing his contacts with suspected Chinese intelligence operative Christine Fang, known as “Fang Fang,” Sources Say, a congressional blog, reported.
Swalwell declined to comment when reached by The Post.
