‘Bizarre inconsistency’: Records reveal stunning irregularities in Swalwell’s payments to California man

Eric Swalwell, a California Democrat in Congress, of course is famous for dating an alleged Chinese spy. And for recently demanding that any party member desiring to run for president pledge to destroy President Donald Trump’s new White House ballroom on day one.

Now, he’s the subject of a report that uncovered a “bizarre inconsistency” in his payments to one California man.

Swalwell’s explanation of the payments to Darly Meyer is that “Darly protects me and my family.”

But the report at Fox News outlined a long list of concerns.

For example, Federal Election Commission filings from Swalwell for Congress and his Remedy PAC, dating to 2021, reveal 75 payments to Meyer, ranging from $53 to $12,000.

The total from 27 payments last year passed $120,000, and he’s on track for that total this year.

The reasons for the payments included travel expenses, car service, security services and salary.

Also, “personal travel expense reimbursement,” and “event flowers reimbursement,” the report said.

Meyer, the report said, also runs a limousine service called CYD Global Car, which offers rides on a luxury basis.

“He is also an administrator of a Facebook group called ‘CaliHaitians – Haitians in Az, Ca, Nv, Hi, Or, Wa,’ which bills itself as a ‘progressive community’ of Haitians living in the United States, which has over 3,000 members,” the report said. It’s “selective” in that it determines who can join.

Swalwell also responded on social media, insisting that Fox “emailed and asked why I’ve spent $350,000 on security.” He turned sarcastic, saying, “Maybe I should send [the reporter] the bill?”

Fox reported it appears Meyer does not have a security license.

Former FEC commissioner Hans von Spakovsky explained the accounting “is the type of bizarre inconsistency that should catch the attention of the FEC.”

He suggested the agency’s auditing arm should investigate.

Fox reported Swalwell earlier raised eyebrows over his spending, as he’s reported multiple transactions over luxury car services, expensive restaurants and lavish hotel visits in Dubai, Berlin, Parin and more.

“Fox News Digital previously reported on Swalwell’s campaign dropping tens of thousands of dollars on Just Dreaming Yacht Charters, a San Francisco agency that offers ‘relaxing and luxurious’ private yachts for up to 40 passengers, as a fundraising expense,” the report said.
