WASHINGTON \u2014 Eric Swalwell leveraged his past sexual relationship with Katie Miller, wife of top Trump official Stephen Miller, to keep potentially embarrassing FBI files behind lock and key, a shocking new report revealed Thursday.<\/p>\n

The news that the disgraced former Democratic Congressman from California \u2014 who resigned after several women claimed sexual assault and rape \u2014 once dated the now-wife of a top conservative leader stunned Washington.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was an intern working on Capitol Hill,\u201d Miller posted on X about the situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then Katie Waldman worked as both an intern and communications director on Capitol Hill in her 20s before moving to the executive branch in 2017. The relationship with Swalwell was before she met her now-husband.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And, in a stunning twist, Swalwell used the past relationship to quash the release of FBI files detailing his contacts with suspected Chinese intelligence operative Christine Fang, known as \u201cFang Fang,\u201d Sources Say, a congressional blog, reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Swalwell declined to comment when reached by The Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fang raised money for Swalwell and helped place at least one intern in his office from 2011 to 2015. But federal officials were concerned she was a spy and Swalwell said he cut off contact with her after the FBI warned him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When his connection with the Chinese honeypot became public in 2020, Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi was one of his top defenders and helped keep him on the House Intelligence Committee.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In early 2026 \u2013 before the assault allegations became public and while he was a leading candidate for California governor \u2013 FBI Director Kash Patel pressed to release the files on him and Fang.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But concerns were raised that Patel was trying to go after one of President Trump\u2019s political enemies. It is longstanding Justice Department policy not to release files that could embarrass a public official, particularly when no criminal charges were filed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Swalwell\u2019s side told the feds that releasing the files could be viewed as an attempt to weaponize the Justice Department and pointed to his \u201clong-concluded sexual relationship\u201d with Miller, Sources Say reported.<\/p>\n

Miller was unaware of the Justice Department aspect until told by a reporter, a source close to her said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Swalwell refused to say if he had sex with the suspected spy, claiming it was a matter of national security that he not share more details of their relationship.<\/p>\n

Swalwell was single at the time. He did not marry his wife Brittany until 2016.<\/p>\n

As the FBI investigated Fang and her infiltration efforts, she fled the country. Patel was exploring bringing her back from China in order to question her about Swalwell.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the files were not released. Pam Bondi was attorney general at the time. \u201cThe Department investigates crimes irrespective of politics,\u201d a spokesperson for the DOJ told The Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And a source familiar said the department was \u201cnot aware of communications from Swalwell\u2019s lawyers regarding Miller\u2019s presence in the files.\u201d<\/p>\n
