In a bombshell report by the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), an unnamed Ohio mayor allegedly had a sexual encounter with a Chinese spy in the back of his car.

According to the FBI, they have obtained substantial evidence that would prove a relationship between the mayor and a Chinese spy, Christine Fang. A federal agent explained that they were able to uncover the illicit affair after they had bugged the car. The agent also noted that when the mayor asked Fang why she was drawn to him, she simply stated that she would like to improve her English.

Currently, the FBI refused to name the mayor with whom Fang was involved with. However, Axios reported that it was an older mayor from “an obscure city.” The relationship allegedly started in 2014, before Fang unexpectedly left the country in 2015.

Worse, Fang was also able to gain access to higher officials including Democrat and California Rep. Eric Swalwell. The Bureau added that during her stay in the U.S. between 2011 and 2015, Fang worked for China’s internal spy agency, the Ministry of State Security.

Fang was able to help Swalwell’s campaign by raising money and had even planted an intern in his office. The report cited that initially, Fang “targeted up-and-coming local politicians in the Bay Area and across the country who had the potential to make it big on the national stage.” While the FBI believed that the Chinese spy was unable to pass classified information, they were extremely concerned since high-ranking officials were involved.

In 2015, the FBI investigation led authorities to notify Swalwell about Fang’s activities, and had even conducted what they called a “defensive briefing.” The Democrat immediately decided to cut ties with Fang. As a response, Swalwell accused President Donald Trump of leaking the news to the press. On Tuesday’s interview with Politico. Swalwell claimed the timing of the report was suspicious, especially because he was a vocal Trump critic, and had even voted in favor of his impeachment.

The Democrat continued by saying that the FBI had turned against him, and had since weaponized his cooperation to discredit him. The media outlet noted that Swalwell refused to comment or confirm his true relationship with Fang. He also remained confident that the shocking report would not affect his seat on the House Intelligence Committee.

Back in 2016, the lawmaker had constantly insisted that the President had close ties to Russia and that it had made way for his presidential win. In fact, in a 2018 interview for the Hill, Swalwell dodged questions about his involvement with a Russian spy, Instead, he brought back a conspiracy theory of the Russian collusion.

Axios pushed back saying that the article was a result of a lengthy investigation. Republicans also demanded that Swalwell should be out of his office for his communist ties. In an interview for Fox News, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy believed that the Democrat should be removed from the House Intelligence Committee as well as from the Congress. He also hinted that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff might have known about Swalwell’s involvement.
