The F.B.I. is reportedly revisiting investigative files on Democratic lawmaker Eric Swalwell, amid a push from former Trump official Kash Patel. Concerns have been raised within the bureau about the motivations behind this move, especially given the lack of evidence in the decades-old case involving an alleged Chinese spy. Swalwell has responded to rumors and reports, including the revelation that his campaign spent significant funds on white-collar crime attorneys, questioning the integrity of the investigation. The unfolding situation has led to alarm within the F.B.I., as the director pushes to declassify materials related to Swalwell, stirring further controversy in the political arena.
