Meanwhile, California’s 15th District Rep. Eric Swalwell took a moment to share his story.“Uncertain what would happen next, I sent a text message to my wife: I love you and the babies, please hug them for me,” he recounted. “I imagine many of you sent a similar message.”It should come as a comfort to his colleagues that in what he believed to have been his last moments, he wanted to share his love with his wife of nearly five years, Brittany, and his children. No mention, however, of the woman with whom he’s been having an alleged affair with for nearly the past decade. U.S. counterintelligence officials have linked his alleged mistress, Christine Fang, to China’s Ministry of State Security, which is Beijing’s equivalent to the CIA.
