MSNBC reports:
When House Speaker Kevin McCarthy kicked Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell off the House Intelligence Committee in January, the Republican leader said the move was necessary in the interests of “national security.” Even at the time, it was a difficult line to take seriously. In fact, The Washington Post published a detailed report scrutinizing McCarthy’s claims and concluded they were based on “specious and vague” reasoning and “figments of imagination.”
The House Ethics Committee has ended its two-year investigation into Swalwell over allegations that he had ties to a suspected Chinese intelligence operative. In a letter to Swalwell dated Monday, the committee said it will take no further action into “allegations raised in the complaint that you may have violated House Rules, laws, or other standards of conduct in connection with your interactions with Ms. Christine Fang,” the suspected Chinese spy.
Read the full article. Marjorie Taylor Greene in particular has relentlessly accused Swalwell of colluding with the Chinese government. As you can see below, she repeated her false claims yesterday to Steve Bannon.

@RepMTG “We already know Eric Swalwell had a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy … based on Hunter Biden paying for sex being involved in human sex trafficking with women from Russia and Ukraine. Were they spies? who are they? What are they?” pic.twitter.com/tOGuaWni9j
