GOP leaders demand Nancy Pelosi remove Eric Swalwell from intelligence committee over his 'top secret' friendship with Chinese spy Fang Fang
House Republicans have signed a letter demanding that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi remove Rep. Eric Swalwell from the Intelligence Committee over his 'classified' friendship with with Chinese spy Fang Fang, also known as Christine Fang. Swalwell's position on Intel Committee poses 'an unacceptable national security risk', according to the letter signed by House Republicans, including Minority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana and Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming. Swalwell, a California Democrat, has refused to say whether he was intimate with Fang during their friendship from 2012 to 2015, asserting the matter is classified, and Pelosi has already backed him, saying she has no concerns. 'For consistency's sake, and more importantly, for the sake of our national security, you must remove Rep. Swalwell from his position' on the committee, the GOP letter urged.
