A newly declassified FBI report reveals that a now-disgraced California Democrat disclosed to investigators that a graduate student he met in 2012—before entering office—served as his primary liaison with a foreign political group. The documents suggest the relationship was framed as a key connection to the organization, raising questions about his interactions during his time in Congress. The revelations come as part of an ongoing federal investigation into his conduct. Details of the FBI’s broader findings remain under scrutiny.


Now-disgraced California Dem Eric Swalwell told the FBI he considered the glamorous grad student whom he first met in 2012 before he took office, as his main point of contact with APAPA, according to declassified FBI files.
