Eric Swalwell Caught Taking Money from Chinese Communist Party-Linked Firm

 January 16, 2026 - 5:34 pm



Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is facing renewed scrutiny over his ties to China after an investigation found that a firm with deep ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) funneled money into the Democrat congressman’s California gubernatorial campaign.

A paper trail revealed that Swalwell’s campaign has received thousands of dollars from CCP-linked operatives.

Records show that Swalwell took $10,000 from the California office of a powerful Beijing-linked law firm with deep connections to the CCP.

Campaign finance filings released this week show Swalwell’s campaign received $9,999 on December 30 from DeHeng Law Offices PC, which listed its address as Pleasanton, California.
 
According to the firm’s website, the location operates as DeHeng’s “Silicon Valley Office” and appears to employ just one attorney.

That attorney is Keliang “Clay” Zhu, a partner at the firm who donated an additional $5,000 to Swalwell’s gubernatorial campaign in November.

Absolutely disgraceful, and a potentially serious national security threat.

Guess what will be done about it?

If you guessed "nothing", that means you've been paying attention.

This is illegal.  Why is he not being prosecuted?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

There are lots of DEMS doing things that investigations show are illegal and none are being prosecuted.  The big question is, Why?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
