A Sources Say report has claimed that Stephen Miller's wife was previously involved in a relationship with a former Democratic Party congressman who resigned after several women accused him of sexual misconduct. Right-wing commentator Katie Miller was allegedly seeing Eric Swalwell while working as a congressional intern in her early twenties. How long they were together is unknown.
Katie has since criticized the married ex-congressman. He pulled out of the California governor's race after infidelity claims emerged.
Katie, 24, married White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller in 2020. The two share four children.
Katie was reportedly not in a relationship when she was seeing Swalwell, 45. Swalwell has three children with his second wife, Brittany.
Sources Say reported that Swalwell threatened to reveal his past relationship with Katie if the Justice Department released files about his alleged connections to suspected Chinese Spy Christine Fang, who were known to have been cultivating relationships with California politicians on behalf of the Beijing regime. Swalwell reportedly believed that releasing the files meant weaponizing the DOJ.
Swalwell, in a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, allegedly referred to the planned release as an attempt to smear him and undermine his aborted campaign for governor.
Pam Bondi eventually decided not to release the files.
Katie is believed to have had no knowledge of the relationship between her and Swalwell being discussed with the DOJ.
Swalwell launched a short-lived campaign for the presidency in 2019. He resigned his seat in Congress on April 13 after several women accused him of sexual abuse, including, in one case, rape. He was also accused of unwanted touching and sending unsolicited sexual messages.
Swalwell maintained that he was innocent. He said in his resignation announcement, "I will fight the serious false allegations made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make."
"Congressman Eric Swalwell categorically and unequivocally denies each and every allegation of sexual misconduct and assault that has been leveled against him," his attorney added in a statement.
In an April X post, Katie referred to one of the women making allegations against Swalwell, writing, “As someone who doesn't normally believe all women, I believe her—and the many lined up behind her. Eric Swalwell's behavior was the worst kept secret on Capitol Hill. I'm positive she was not the only intern."
"I was an intern working on Capitol Hill," she wrote in another post, adding, "While the reports of the women sexually harassed and abused by Eric Swalwell are deeply disturbing, the timing and intensity are questionable and alarming. The Legacy Media and the DC Press Corps knew about these allegations for over a decade. Women on Capitol Hill knew the type."
Stephen, in April, accused Democrats of keeping "blackmail files" after the sexual misconduct allegations against Swalwell surfaced.
"The real story here is how the Democrat Party controls its members through blackmail. It's got a blackmail file on all of its politicians, and it uses them to leverage and control them until it's time to release it," Miller told Fox News's Jesse Waters Primetime.
"That is how sick and twisted the Democrat Party is. That's the next thread we've got to pull out here," he added.
