Swalwell accuses FBI director Kash Patel of election interference in governor’s race

U.S. REP. ERIC SWALWELL blasted the FBI on Monday following media reports that the agency planned to release investigative files related to his relationship with a fundraiser who was investigated for possible links to Chinese intelligence more than a decade ago.

Swalwell, D-Castro Valley, who is one of the current leaders in the race for California governor, appeared at a brief news conference outside the Phillip Burton Federal Building in San Francisco to denounce the potential release of any previous investigations as politically motivated.
