East Bay Rep. Eric Swalwell has accused President Donald Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel of attempting to influence the California governor’s race. This follows reports that Patel is pushing for the release of files related to a decade-old investigation into the congressman and a suspected Chinese spy, which ultimately found no wrongdoing. The move is seen as the latest salvo between the Trump administration and Swalw, a vocal critic of the president who served as an impeachment manager over the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol and is a leading candidate to succeed Gov. Gavin Newsom.
