Swalwell admits to sexual relationship, placing interns, poor campaign finance checks

In a 2015 interview with the FBI, then-Congressman Swalwell told agents that he first met Fang in 2012, during his first congressional campaign. He admitted to the agents that he had “physical relations with Fang” on multiple occasions, according to the FBI summary. In a subsequent interview in 2016, Swalwell detailed one incident where Fang showed up at his door, after which Swalwell said they “hooked up,” according to the interview summary.

In that second interview, Swalwell confirmed that Fang did refer interns to both his campaign and congressional offices. He noted that he and his staff treated Fang’s referrals as coming from the Asian Pacific Islander American Public Associations (APAPA), an important constituent group in his district.

“FANG was unique when it came to interns, because SWALWELL saw FANG as connected to the Asian Pacific Islander American Public Associations (APAPA) and [redacted],” the 2016 interview summary reads.

“SWALWELL viewed anyone that FANG put forward for an internship as coming from APAPA,” it adds. “A significant portion of SWALWELL’s constituents are Chinese American and diversity is important.”

Swalwell’s statements to the FBI also indicate that he had concerns about some staffers' adherence to campaign finance regulations. In his second interview with the FBI in 2016, Swalwell told agents about a 2014 Las Vegas fundraiser at the Wynn Casino where Swalwell said an individual who appeared to handle the campaign’s finances was told “he needed to get it together when it comes to filing paperwork and reporting requirements. Paperwork was not [redacted] strength,” the FBI 302 memorializing the interview reads.

FBI drops Swalwell from probe, focuses on Fang

In the early stages of the probe, the FBI team sent regular updates to the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section (PIN), which was then headed by the now-controversial prosecutor Jack Smith. Smith would later lead the Biden administration’s investigations and prosecutions of Trump. PIN oversees investigations and prosecutions that involve federal crimes like bribery of public officials and election crimes, including campaign finance crimes.

Eventually, however, after interviewing Swalwell on multiple occasions, the FBI determined that the investigation had found no violations of federal statutes by the congressman. As a result, the FBI eventually reclassified the probe on February 8, 2017, dropping Swalwell as a subject and focusing the investigation solely on Fang’s alleged violations of campaign finance laws.

In May, the FBI searched Fang’s house, according to an interview with one former intern in Swalwell’s campaign office. The individual, whose name has been redacted, is a Chinese national who was studying political science, presumably at a school in California, according to an FBI-302 form memorializing the interview. The intern told investigators that Fang said the FBI had interviewed her and searched her house.

According to a series of interviews with other colleagues, Fang fled the country and traveled to China around May 2015. One individual, described as an owner of a winery, “assisted Fang financially on several occasions” while she was in the United States, including co-signing leases, for a car and an apartment. This is the same individual Fang offered to reimburse for a donation to Swalwell.

The winery owner said that Fang approached him in late May to say she was returning to China because she had been questioned about the alleged political donation scheme. Oddly, she also reported to the individual that “her parents used to work for the Chinese government in a department akin to the US Secret Service.”

After the FBI’s interviews of Fang and her close associates prompted the suspect to return to China, the FBI formally closed the investigation in 2017.

In a closing memo, the FBI noted that its agents found evidence Fang violated several criminal laws related to the illegal donations, including prohibited contributions in the name of another, in excess of statutory limits, and from a foreign national, falsifying and destroying records, engaging in a false statements scheme, engaging in a false writing scheme, international bulk cash smuggling, and acting as an unregistered foreign agent. The memo also noted that Fang had fled and was barred from re-entry by the State Department.

Before probe, FBI attempted to recruit Fang

Before the probe was opened into Fang’s alleged illegal activities, the FBI engaged in a months-long effort to recruit her using an undercover bureau employee and a fictitious company. The goal, according to contemporaneous memos, was to turn Fang into an informant on Chinese efforts to conduct influence operations targeting public officials, with whom Fang was close with several.

The Rusty Thumbs memos, identified by the codename agents gave Fang, show that the undercover employee met with her on several occasions to get to know her background and aimed to offer Fang a consulting job where she would use her Chinese connections to help the undercover employee’s fictitious business.

According to the memos, Fang was vague about her past in China, refused to elaborate on her parents’ Chinese government jobs and where she went to undergraduate school. However, she bragged about her political activities in the United States, including her work to connect donors to Swalwell’s congressional campaign, they show. Eventually, Fang agreed to work with the fictitious company. On June 14, 2013, she signed a contractor agreement for the consulting gig. That contract is contained in the FBI’s files.

It appears the bureau’s efforts to recruit Fang may have exposed her alleged campaign finance crimes. The effort to use Fang as a window into Chinese influence operations in California was ended just six days before the FBI opened its initial probe into the alleged illegal campaign contribution scheme, which she first hinted at while the FBI was trying to recruit her.

FBI knew Fang had ties to Chinese intelligence

The FBI knew early on that Fang likely had several ties to Chinese intelligence. One memo identified Fang’s parents as “known MSS intelligence officers.” The agents also suspected Fang herself had MSS ties. In fact, those suspected ties were why the FBI was interested in recruiting Fang through an undercover operation, the memos show.

“In addition, [Rusty Thumb] professed to knowing people of influence within the PRC,” one memo reads. “Given RT’s apparent connections with MSS personnel and the PRC government, coupled with her continuing contact with U.S. and local government officials, RT may be able to report on MSS influence campaigns directed at the U.S. government.”

In addition, at least one of Fang’s colleagues in the United States also suspected that she might have ties to Chinese intelligence. The winery owner told agents that he or she “sometimes got the impression that FANG is a Chinese spy,” according to a summary of the interview.

“She was very private and would frequently be gone without any explanation,” the individual reportedly told agents. “However, she also did things that [redacted] considered to be very obvious and not very smart.”

muh message

This FBI is taking the fight to fentanyl at EVERY level — from Chinese precursors, to the cartels, to the dealers, to the dirty money financing it all.

🇺🇸 3,200+ kg of fentanyl seized

🇺🇸 247+ MILLION potentially lethal doses

🇺🇸 Nearly 10% more seized than the final 18 months of the Biden administration

🇺🇸 $200+ MILLION in assets confiscated

🇺🇸 Thousands arrested

🇺🇸 Thousands of weapons seized

🇺🇸 59 Homeland Security Task Forces with 9,000+ personnel

We’re not just taking fentanyl off the streets — we’re dismantling the entire network from top to bottom.

These historic results are made possible through the leadership and direction of @POTUS , who has made it clear: put the American people FIRST.
