A new story involving an alleged Chinese spy and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) surfaced Thursday afternoon, prompting the lawmaker to lash out at critics online as he faces growing scrutiny.
The alleged spy, Chinese national Christine Fang, “targeted up-and-coming local politicians in the Bay Area and across the country who had the potential to make it big on the national stage” through “campaign fundraising, extensive networking, personal charisma, and romantic or sexual relationships,” Axios reported at the start of the week in the first spy story involving Swalwell.
