Congressman Eric Swalwell has held California's 15th congressional district since 2012, occupying seats on the House Intelligence, Judiciary, and Homeland Security committees over the period.

He was impeachment manager at President Trump's second go 'round, and is the plaintiff in the current civil suit against the former president for his actions on January 6th.

We sat down at his congressional offices in May to discuss President Trump's evolving legal jeopardy, the outlook for Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas War, and populism in Congress.

At the start of April I spent 10 days on the road in Ukraine with Ralph Goff, a 35-year veteran of the CIA, where he was a 6-time “Chief of Station” with extensive service in Europe, the Middle East, and Central and South Asia, including several war zones.

As a Senior Intelligence Service executive, he was Chief of Operations for Europe and Eurasia, responsible for all CIA activities and operations in dozens of countries.

At the end of our trip, Ralph and I sat down in Warsaw to discuss what we learned.
