Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California told “CNN News Central” co-host Kate Bolduan on Monday that House Democrats plan to go after private citizens working with the Trump administration following the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey.
A federal grand jury indicted Comey on charges of lying to Congress and obstruction of a congressional proceeding on Thursday over testimony given during a September 2020 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. Swalwell expressed confidence that Democrats would take control of the House in the 2026 midterm elections.
“Well, first, we are making it clear that we’re going into the majority a year from now,” Swalwell told Bolduan. “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.”
