We sat down in Kyiv on the last night of a recent trip to discuss current developments.

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.

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.
