On Friday, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said on CNN’s “News Central” that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and National Security Adviser Michael Waltz should not be in government after using Signal for a chat among senior national security officials. Swalwell said, “I want to know, are they going to continue to use this type of chat environment for future operations? No one has answered that. and every member of Congress, at least on our side, should ask every intelligence official and every military official when they appear under oath before Congress. Are you using signal chat? And by the way, DOGE...

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) claimed Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that his lawsuit against President-elect Donald Trump was “not going away.” Host Nicolle Wallace said, “Congressman I heard you have votes, if you have more minute I would love to give you the last word.” Swalwell said, “I do. I will tell you I had lunch with Harry and some of the other officers today with Speaker Pelosi.

Supporters of President-elect Donald Trump should “sit out” criticizing President Joe Biden for pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, disgraced Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) claimed Monday. Swalwell, who is accused of sleeping with a Chinese spy, tried to defend Joe Biden’s pardon by pointing to the weaponization of Biden’s Justice Department against Trump. Most of the cases and charges against Trump have been dropped after his victory in November, underscoring the political nature of the prosecutions. Swalwell’s defense of Biden’s pardon of his son, moreover, does not square with some other members of his party. “If you defended the 34x felon,...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said that 2024 Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris hasn’t implemented the economic proposals she’s promising now because “she’s been the Vice President and she’s been supporting a president who’s had 15 million jobs created under his presidency, more than any president in my lifetime, but that doesn’t mean that gas and groceries are as affordable as they need to be, and that doesn’t mean enough people who work hard have a home.” Co-host John Berman asked, “Congressman, what you hear from Republicans, though, is, look, if...

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) called a joint press conference on “election integrity” from former President Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) “absurd” Friday, given the indictments Trump faces over 2020 election interference. “I mean, it’s too rich that Donald Trump and Mike Johnson are talking to us about election integrity. That’s like having to listen to a lecture by Bonnie and Clyde on bank security. I mean, it’s absurd considering what they did in the 2020 election to try and overturn it,” Swalwell said during an appearance on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360”.

On Thursday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) stated that Hunter Biden “has tried to accept responsibility” for the criminal charges that his counsel recently failed to reach a plea deal that was accepted by the courts with federal prosecutors on.

Embattled Rep. Eric Swalwell, the Democrat who was kicked off the House Select Committee on Intelligence by Republicans for having a years-long relationship with a Chinese spy, is looking to kick former President Donald Trump out of the Capitol forever. Swalwell, D-Calif., is the sole co-sponsor of a new Democratic resolution that says Trump and several of his top aides should be permanently banished from the Capitol because of their attempt to “undermine and overturn the 2020 presidential election.” The resolution from Rep.

Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell drew fire from Republicans after he released a new ad claiming the GOP wants women to get arrested for having abortions. The ad opens with a family sitting around the dinner table and a knock at the door. Two cops stand outside claiming to have a warrant for the mother's arrest for 'unlawful termination of a pregnancy.' 'That's my personal business,' the woman says. 'That's for the courts to decide,' the police said. The mother is then arrested at gunpoint while her children are crying and her husband protests. 'Elections have consequences. Vote Democrat on November...

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) declared Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that former President Donald Trump “is going into a season of legal reckoning.” Anchor Lawrence O’Donnell said, “The evidence since your case was filed has developed very much in your favor.

That is your essence of your lawsuit.”

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” called former President Donald Trump “the biggest legal terrorist of them all.” Guest-anchor Kasie Hunt said, “I want to ask for your reaction to these Trump White House e-mails to the Justice Department essentially asking the DOJ to challenge the outcome of a legitimate election.

WASHINGTON - More than two months into what President Donald Trump calls a "war" against COVID-19, his administration's efforts to combat the deadly disease, along with its disastrous effects on the U.S. economy, are often creating more problems than they solve. Bidding wars for life-saving equipment, a power struggle between Trump's son-in-law and the vice president, political gamesmanship, the centralization of authority and decentralization of accountability, and the creation of new government programs while standing bureaucracies are ignored, have all contributed to chaos within the political, economic and health care systems. Banks haven't been able to process loan applications for...

You can represent the people OR you can represent the President, but you can’t do both. Sign our petition to demand Barr resign."
