House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Tuesday suggested the nature of Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA)’s “relationship with a Chinese spy” was so bad it disqualified him from sitting on the House Intelligence Committee.
After a reporter questioned McCarthy on his decision to kick Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Swalwell off the committee, he said even the FBI was concerned about the relationship between the couple.
“And if you want to talk about Swalwell, let’s talk about Swalwell because you have not had the briefing that I had. I had the briefing and Nancy Pelosi had the briefing from the FBI,” he said.
McCarthy said the FBI decided to tell the leadership of Congress that Swalwell “had a problem with a Chinese spy” when then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) assigned him to the Intelligence Committee in 2015.

“So it wasn’t just us who were concerned about it. The FBI was concerned about putting a member of Congress on the Intel Committee that has the rights to see things that others don’t because of his knowledge and relationship with with a Chinese spy,” McCarthy said.
“They brought it to the works of the leaders. I’ve got that briefing.
