Protect Our Democracy
CASTRO VALLEY, CA – Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-15), the Ranking Member of the CIA Subcommittee of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, issued the following statement Tuesday:
Russia attacked our democracy, and now we must make sure it's not rewarded for having done so.
Our intelligence community concluded months ago that Russia interfered with our free and fair elections last year, and did so to benefit Donald Trump's campaign. Now the FBI is conducting criminal and counterintelligence investigations into whether the extensive personal, political and financial ties between Russia and the Trump campaign team converged with this attack.
WASHINGTON, DC – Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-15), the Ranking Member of the CIA Subcommittee of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, issued the following statement Thursday:
WASHINGTON, DC – Neither President Donald Trump nor his Administration should make any Russia policy changes, according to a resolution introduced Wednesday by Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-15), the Ranking Member of the CIA Subcommittee of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and Rep. Eliot Engel (NY-16), Ranking Member on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
From freshman backbencher to a driving force in the Russia–Trump investigation, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) has come a long way in four years.
Since entering Congress in 2013, the fresh-faced 36-year-old has been chosen to steer the party's millennial outreach campaign, and he earned a seat at the leadership table this year as co-chairman of the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee.
WASHINGTON, DC – Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-15), the Ranking Member of the CIA Subcommittee of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, issued the following statement Monday:
It's time for an independent commission to investigate Russia's attack on our democracy.
Sadly, the two branches of government with jurisdiction to get to the bottom of what happened have betrayed their solemn duty of exercising independence. The window to act – to find out what happened and whether any Americans were complicit, and to implement reforms to avoid another attack – is closing fast.
WASHINGTON, DC – Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-15), the Ranking Member of the CIA Subcommittee of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, issued the following statement Wednesday:
"I was disappointed to see that Chairman Devin Nunes did not share with his House Intelligence colleagues classified information he allegedly received involving President Donald Trump and his campaign. More troubling is that Chairman Nunes chose instead to brief the President and his team, days after it was learned that the President's campaign is under criminal investigation.
WASHINGTON, DC – Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-15), the Ranking Member of the CIA Subcommittee of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, issued the following statement after Monday's full-committee hearing on ties between the Trump team and Russia:
"The facts that emerged at today's hearing – as well as the facts on which our witnesses said they could not comment – speak volumes about the ties between President Trump's team and Russia. As we continue connecting the dots, this looks more and more like a convergence, not a coincidence.
