Overview
- A Sources Say News report published this weekend says conservative commentator Katie Miller had a sexual relationship with then‑Congressman Eric Swalwell when she was a Capitol Hill intern and Miller replied on X that she was an intern at the time.
- The report says Swalwell warned Justice Department officials that releasing FBI files about his ties to suspected Chinese operative Christine Fang could be seen as weaponizing the department and that then‑Attorney General Pam Bondi chose not to disclose the files.
- Swalwell resigned his House seat on April 13 after multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct and he has denied the allegations while acknowledging past mistakes.
- The story has provoked sharp social‑media criticism, especially from left‑leaning commentators who note Miller’s earlier public support for one of Swalwell’s accusers, and some coverage reports Stephen Miller did not know about the alleged past relationship.
- The claim currently rests mainly on the Sources Say report and Miller’s brief public comment, and reporters note it has not been broadly corroborated beyond those accounts which leaves open questions about DOJ disclosure practices and political impacts.
