According to Fox News, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy filed a resolution on Thursday to remove the California Democrat from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
The motion comes after Axios reported in December that Swalwell had close ties with a suspected Chinese spy named Fang Fang.
Fang first met Swalwell during his tenure as a city councilman in Dublin, California, but later fundraised for his 2012 House campaign and placed an intern in his office, Axios reported.
These accusations didn't prevent House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from reappointing him to the Intelligence Committee on Friday.
I have filed a resolution to remove Rep. Eric Swalwell from the House Intelligence Committee.
Swalwell engaged in a years-long relationship with a suspected Chinese spy, and his conduct makes clear he has no place serving on the committee in charge of America's top secrets.
Pelosi's inept decision to reappoint Swalwell to the committee sets a dangerous precedent for future appointments that regardless of how vulnerable an official's record appears, he or she will still possess authority in Congress.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
