I was a 20-year-old college junior when a seemingly fearless U.S. Sen. John McCain spoke these reassuring words after I'd waited 30 minutes in line to shake his hand.

WASHINGTON, DC – Rep. Eric Swalwell, ranking member of the CIA Subcommittee of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, participated in the new documentary film "Active Measures" detailing Russia's interference in America's 2016 presidential election and its long-standing ties to President Donald Trump.
Swalwell (CA-15) was interviewed about his role and findings in the House Intelligence Committee's investigation of Russia's interference on behalf of the Trump campaign. The film was released Friday.
White House counsel Don McGahn, whose imminent departure was announced by President Trump this week, will likely be called to testify before Congress about his efforts to constrain testimony in the Russia investigation if Democrats capture control of the House in this fall's elections, says a top House Democrat.

A Democratic congressman has introduced a bill to make it a criminal offence for the US president, vice president, their families or their companies in which they have at least half-ownership, to receive "anything of value" from a foreign power.
California congressman Eric Swalwell's bill, titled "Prevent Corrupting Foreign Influence Act", is aimed at improving upon the US constitution's emoluments clause that prohibits elected officials from receiving a
"present" of any kind from a foreign state or a representative of a foreign government without consent from congress.
Our White House is not for sale, and it's about time that Congress takes a meaningful stand to ensure that. No U.S. president should be enriched by foreign sources—presidents should hold themselves to a higher standard, and if they won't, it's our job to do it for them.
WASHINGTON, DC – Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-15) introduced Prevent Corrupting Foreign Influence Act on Monday to significantly improve upon the existing ban on America's highest elected officials receiving financial benefits from foreign powers.
