A member of Congress with no suspicions about socializing with a Chinese national has no place on the House Intelligence Committee, according to outgoing Rep. Denver Riggleman, R-Va., a former intelligence officer. Swalwell hasn’t been accused of any wrongdoing and Fang is not suspected of getting any classified information. Riggleman joins a growing number of Republican House members who have called for Swalwell to either step down from the Intelligence Committee or be forcibly removed. "We’re not saying that he meant to do something wrong, but if you have that kind of lack of judgment, you probably shouldn’t be on the Intelligence Committee," Riggleman said. So did Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, who blamed "faux outrage" for the issue in an interview with Fox in Los Angeles.
