   California Democrat Representative Eric Swalwell told CNN News Central co-host   
   Kate Bolduan on Monday that House Democrats plan to scrutinize   
   private citizens working with the Trump administration, following the   
   indictment of former FBI Director James Comey.   
      
   A federal grand jury indicted Comey on Thursday on charges of lying to   
   Congress and obstruction related to a testimony he gave during a   
   September 2020 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.   
      
   Meanwhile, Swalwell has since expressed confidence that Democrats will regain   
   control of the House in the 2026 midterm elections.   
      
   “Well, first, we’re making it clear that we’re going into the majority a   
   year from now,” Swalwell said. “We have every intention to do that, and   
   so we will bring oversight, accountability, we will subpoena the Department of   
   Justice, but also private actors who have done these drug deals   
   with the administration, college campuses, entertainment companies, law firms   
   and so accountability is coming.”   
      
   “And so, one, it’s all coming out, two, I hope that deters people from   
   doing more of these deals, these one-offs with the president,” he   
   continued. “One other point, though, on Comey, Kate, this happened when   
   Donald Trump was president. So if you’re trying to tell me this is not   
   politically motivated, the statement that they’re referring to where he   
   allegedly lied, Donald Trump was president, so why didn’t you indict him   
   then? The fact that he’s indicting him now just makes it look even more   
   politically motivated, and so I’m pretty confident that this will either   
   be dismissed or Mr. Comey will be acquitted by a jury of his peers.”   
      
   Swalwell’s remarks come as President Donald Trump has secured a series of   
   high-profile legal victories.   
      
   CBS agreed to settle a $10 billion lawsuit filed by Trump over the editing of   
   an October 2024 interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris,   
   his opponent in the 2024 election. ABC also paid Trump $15 million to resolve   
   a defamation suit stemming from remarks made by This Week host   
   George Stephanopoulos during a contentious March 10, 2024, appearance by   
   Representative Nancy Mace (R-S.C.).

   Democrats are Nazis! Only the extremely ignorant and the cheat-o-matic voting   
   machines will continue to vote Democrat.
