Video Transcript AI Summary
A Chinese national named Fang Fang, or Christine Feng, became involved in California's Democratic Party and cultivated relationships with several Democratic officeholders, including Congressman Eric Swalwell.
Fang Fang, suspected by US intelligence officials of having a sexual relationship with Swalwell, used her university enrollment as a cover and engaged in left-wing political organizations. She raised money for Democratic candidates and became a key financial supporter for Swalwell's campaigns. Fang Fang also helped Swalwell gain support from the Asian American community.
Like the Chinese spy who worked for Senator Dianne Feinstein, Fang Fang also had access to Swalwell's office and allegedly placed an intern there. The FBI investigated Fang Fang, but she fled to China. Despite Swalwell's history of accusing others of working with hostile powers, he has been a source of Chinese government propaganda.
Speaker 0: Chinese intelligent agent called Feng Feng, or she renamed herself when she came to this country, Christine Feng, became a force within the Democratic Party of California. Along the way, she cultivated a number of Democratic office holders. Fung had sexual relationships with at least two of them identified in the Axio story as mayors from Midwestern cities. Fung also began a relationship with a man called Eric Swalwell. You may recognize that name.
Eric Swalwell is a member of the United States Congress. Swalwell sits on the House Intelligence Committee. He is privy to this country's most closely held secrets. Feng's relationship with Swalwell began in 2012. Like so many Chinese spies, Feng used college as her cover.
She enrolled as a student at a university in the Bay Area, and she immediately joined a number of left wing identity politics organizations on campus. From there, she quite naturally began raising money for democratic candidates. US Intelligence Officials believe that Fung had a sexual relationship with Eric Falwell Swalwell. We asked Swalwell's office about that directly today. His staff replied by saying they couldn't comment on whether or not Swalwell had a sexual relationship with Fung because that information might be classified.
They did not elaborate or explain what they meant by that. We do know that when Fung met Swalwell, he was a little known city councilman in the Bay Area, he had grand political aspirations. Fung became his regular companion. She was photographed with Swalwell at political events several times. She became a financial bundler for his political campaigns.
Fung apparently pulled in large amounts of money from a variety of sources to help Eric Swalwell get elected to congress. It's not entirely clear where all of that money came from. We do know that Feng helped Swalwell secure the support of his district's Asian American community. Political analysts have called that a critical factor in his win in 2012. That's not a new trick for Chinese intelligence services.
Another democrat from the state of California, the state's senior democrat, senator Dianne Feinstein, employed a Chinese spy in her office for nearly twenty years. That spy drove Feinstein around and directly assisted her in outreach to Asian American voters. Like the spy that Feinstein hired, Feng gained access to Eric Swahwul's office in Washington. Officials say Feng managed to install an intern in Swalwell's office almost certainly as a spy for the Chinese government. Now we don't know the full extent of Feng's intelligence activities in this country.
Eventually, she fled The US for China while under FBI investigation. Swalwell claims he hasn't talked to her in years. We do know that in Eric Swalwell, the Chinese government picked a promising vehicle. Swalwell is one of the most high profile members of congress. Last year, he ran for president of The United States.
At every turn, Eric Swwallow has remained a reliable source of Chinese government propaganda. As a member of the house intelligence committee, he styled himself as an expert at spotting foreign interference in our government remarkably. As you may remember, Swalvo spent years accusing the sitting president of working for a hostile power.
Speaker 1: The question has shifted from whether the president is working with the Russians to what evidence exists that the president is not working with the Russians. He's betrayed our country, and I don't I don't say that lightly. I I worked as a prosecutor for seven years, and I Betraying the country, by the way, we want evidence before you say that, but you said an agent of Russia. Yeah. He he works on their behalf.
Speaker 0: Do you
Speaker 1: still believe that the president is a a Russian agent? I think he acts on Russia's behalf, and he puts Russia's interests ahead too often of America's interest.
Speaker 0: You're a member of judiciary. Do you believe the president right now has been an agent of the Russians?
Speaker 1: Yes. I I I think there's more evidence than he Yes. And I I I think all the arrows point in that direction. I haven't seen a single piece of evidence that he's not.
Speaker 0: Looking back, it's hard to watch that tape. The irony is overwhelming. It's always those who have the most to hide who attack other people for the very things they've done. Always. Even at the time, he was saying that it was very obvious obvious to us that something was very wrong with Eric Swalwell.
So two years ago, we asked Swalwell to come on this show and reveal the evidence he claimed he'd collected on Russian collusion. Swalwell came, couldn't turn down a TV opportunity, he made loud noises and he left. He had no evidence. But he didn't stop making allegations. Here he is at a hearing with Jim Comey back in 02/2017.
Speaker 1: I wanna talk about the Kremlin playbook. And there are a number of ways that a foreign adversary could seek to influence a person. Do you agree with that?
Speaker 2: Yes. Financial? Yes. That can be one.
Speaker 1: Romance, you said, is another? Yes. Compromise? Correct. Setting up a compromise?
Speaker 2: Sure. Execute on a compromise. Yes.
Speaker 1: How about inadvertently capturing a compromise? Meaning they have vast surveillance and you stumble into that surveillance and are caught in a compromise.
Speaker 2: Right. And then they take that information, try and use it to coerce you? Yeah. That's part of the playbook.
Speaker 0: Oh, it's part of the playbook. Part of the Kremlin playbook, Eric Swalwell says. So what they do, these foreign intel services, is they use SACS, is they use sex, a honey trap, if you will, to set up a compromise. Uh-huh. Spoken like a man who knows that subject quite well.
