Newly declassified FBI records have fingered Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) as a likely conduit for damaging leaks aimed at undermining President Donald Trump, along with disgraced Rep. Adam Schiff.
According to the FBI’s own 302 interview summaries, now in the hands of Congress thanks to FBI Director Kash Patel, the whistleblower noted that “Rep. Swalwell has been the source of a lot of leaked information and had to be counseled to be more careful.”
According to Emmy-winning investigative journalist Catherine Herridge:
“I have obtained a newly declassified @FBI interview summary from 2017 about intelligence leaks from the Russia probes.
While the interview subject’s name is withheld, it appears to be a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
According to the FBI report known as a ‘302,’ (redacted) “noted Swalwell has been the source of a lot of leaked information and had to be counseled to be more careful.”
I have reached out to staff for @RepSwalwell congressman for comment.”

Rather than address the substance of the allegations, a clearly panicked Swalwell responded on social media with an unhinged barrage aimed at Kash Patel and anyone reporting the facts.
On X, Swalwell raged:
“More bullshit in service to Trump to try and keep me quiet. Come get me, Kash. This Trump stooge long ago put me at the top of his book’s enemies list. This nonsense is just more of that. I won’t be silent.”

In another post, he sneered at the whistleblower who came forward:
“This ‘whistleblower’ made this bullshit up when Trump was President. If they had anything, they would have indicted me. Trump would have done anything to destroy me if he could have. They didn’t indict me. Therefore, they had nothing. What’s next?”

When confronted by critics online, Swalwell lashed out again—blaming reporters for supposedly failing to include an Inspector General report he claims debunks the allegations.
“And when reporters fall for this, and don’t give full context (like an IG report saying this is all BULLSHIT) the death threats roll in. Great work!”
This isn’t Swalwell’s first brush with scandal involving questionable judgment and compromised credibility.
His notorious relationship and reported affair with a Chinese intelligence asset should have ended his career and landed him behind bars, yet Democratic leadership shielded him from consequences, even allowing him to remain on the House Intelligence Committee for years.
