Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) decided to weigh in on the controversy surrounding Joe Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter.

Swalwell took to X to defend the move.

“If you defended the 34x felon, who committed sexual assault, stole national security documents, and tried running a coup on his country…you can sit out the Hunter Biden pardon discussion,” he wrote on X.

Users on X were quick to remind Swalwell he might want to stay quiet on the issue based on his connection to a Chinese spy.

In what is now a well-known story, Swalwell was allegedly honey-potted by a Chinese spy named Christine Fang, or Fang Fang, from 2011-2015.

During this time, Fang Fang “took part in fundraising activity for Swalwell’s 2014 re-election campaign” and helped place at least one intern into Swalwell’s office, as reported by Axios in December 2020.

In 2015, Swalwell received a “defensive briefing” from counterintelligence officials to alert him that Fang Fang potentially being a Chinese spy. The California US Representative quickly cut ties. That same year, Fang Fang reportedly fled the country.

In 2023, The Gateway Pundit reported that Swalwell was accused of “aiding and abetting” a crime after colluding with Hunter Biden and his lawyer, Abbe Lowell, to defy a congressional subpoena, which demanded he testimony on charges related to influence-peddling and his business dealings.

Hunter, who was initially scheduled for a closed-door deposition by congressional Republicans at the time, challenged the very foundations of the legal directive in a press conference organized by Swalwell.
