FBI Director Kash Patel is moving to publicly release investigative files connected to Rep. Eric Swalwell from a decades‑old probe involving a suspected Chinese intelligence operative, three people told The Washington Post Saturday.
Patel has allegedly directed agents within the FBI’s San Francisco field office to prepare documents for release by rapidly redacting them ahead of making them public. The files stem from an investigation begun years ago that examined Swalwell’s interactions with an alleged Chinese intelligence operative, but did not result in charges or any official finding of wrongdoing.
