scrutinizing McCarthy’s claims and concluded they were based on “specious and vague” reasoning and “figments of imagination.”The House Ethics Committee ended its two-year investigation into Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., over allegations that he had ties to a suspected Chinese intelligence operative.
The FBI alerted the congressman to the concerns, at which point he cut off contact with the suspected spy. By all appearances, the California lawmaker did exactly what one would expect him to do, and at no point did federal investigators accuse the congressman of wrongdoing., explaining that the Democrat was “completely cooperative” and “under no suspicion of wrongdoing.”
In 2015, then-House Speaker John Boehner and then-Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes were briefed on the situation, and the Republicans expressed no opposition to Swalwell continuing to serve on the House Intelligence Committee.
