The revelation that an alleged Chinese spy placed at least one intern in the Washington, D.C., office of California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell has House party leaders taking sides on whether congressional interns should be better vetted before working for lawmakers.

Christine Fang, who is suspected of being a Chinese spy, zeroed in on lawmakers and politicians around the Bay Area in California. She helped bundle donations for Swalwell, who is now a member of the Intelligence Committee, during his first reelection bid in 2014.
