McCarthy files resolution to kick Swalwell off intel committee over past ties to suspected Chinese spy
Fox News
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Thursday filed a privileged resolution aimed at removing Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence over past ties to an alleged Chinese spy named Fang Fang.
The ties to Fang were first revealed by Axios, which reported that Fang helped raise money for Swalwell's campaign and placed one or more interns in Swalwell's office. Republicans have said that somebody who was so egregiously compromised by a foreign power should not remain on the critical intelligence panel. The McCarthy, R-Calif., resolution also cites the House rule that "A Member... of the House shall behave at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House."More Related News
