Swalwell’s Chinese Spy Girl Shows Exactly Why Congress Needs Real Background Checks [WATCH]

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna called for new security measures in Congress, arguing that recent revelations involving an alleged Chinese intelligence operation demonstrate the need for greater transparency and stricter vetting of lawmakers and congressional staff.

Speaking about the case involving Chinese national Fang Fang, also known as Christine Fang, Luna said the scope of the alleged operation extended beyond a single office and involved multiple political figures.

“And Fang Fang, if you actually look into the amount of offices that she had infiltrated, she was actually donating to a number of very high-profile Democrat candidates that were seeking reelection, incumbents and ultimately ended up running for office.”

Luna argued that Fang’s actions were intentional.

“And so I think that, you know, she knew exactly what she was doing.”

She then turned her attention to Rep. Eric Swalwell, discussing his reported interactions with Fang.

“I think Eric Swalwell at a certain point was briefed by the FBI. He knew what was going on, and then ultimately he tried to cover his tracks.”

Luna continued by criticizing Swalwell’s service on the House Intelligence Committee.

“And so the fact is is that he sat on Intel, he lied about certain things, and ultimately the entire time he was literally working with a Chinese national, and ultimately was being targeted and used by the CCP.”

Luna also credited investigative journalist John Solomon for reporting that she said helped bring additional information to light.

“So a lot of people forget that these findings were actually a result, and credit where it’s due to John Solomon for doing this, because again, these were formerly classified and they were not released.”

According to Luna, the release of that information aligns with what she described as the Trump administration’s emphasis on transparency.

“But ultimately this goes into ultimately what the entire motto of this administration has been, which is transparency.”

She said making such information public allows Americans to better understand potential national security concerns involving elected officials.

“And so it’s good for people to know.”

Luna argued that the case demonstrates why Congress should adopt stronger screening procedures for lawmakers and employees.

“But also remember, this is exactly why Congress needs to have background checks on members of Congress and their staff.”

She said those requirements should apply broadly throughout Capitol Hill to reduce the risk of foreign influence.

“Ultimately, you can be a member of Congress and be a dual citizen, that should also be changed as well.”

Luna argued that members of Congress should owe allegiance only to the United States while serving in federal office.

“I don’t believe that you can have allegiances to two countries, only to the United States.”

She called on House leadership to advance legislation addressing those issues.

“And so it’s time that, you know, Congress puts Kat Cammack’s bill on the floor that would require these background checks and other bills that would require members of Congress to disclose if they’re dual citizens.”

WATCH:

Luna said mandatory background checks for members of Congress and congressional staff, combined with disclosure requirements regarding dual citizenship, would improve transparency and strengthen public confidence in federal institutions.

She argued that the proposed changes would provide additional safeguards against foreign influence while ensuring that lawmakers are fully accountable to the American people.

Throughout her remarks, Luna maintained that Congress should respond to national security concerns by adopting stricter standards for vetting public officials and increasing disclosure requirements, describing those reforms as necessary steps to protect the integrity of the legislative branch.
