evidence: The House Ethics Committee ended its two-year investigation into Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., over allegations that he had ties to a suspected Chinese intelligence operative. [...] The investigation into Swalwell came in response to allegations that Fang was involved in fundraising operations for his 2014 re-election campaign and helped place an intern in his office, Axios reported. [...] Swalwell became a target of House Republicans over the allegations. At the start of the new Congress this year, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., blocked Swalwell and Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., from continuing to serve on the House Intelligence Committee. Swalwell was an impeachment manager during the second impeachment trial of then-President Donald Trump, while Schiff was lead prosecutor in Trump's first impeachment trial.
