The Defense Department is seeking open-source intelligence software that can draw on information from social media to create graphics and conduct analysis in real-time, according to a solicitation released by the agency. The agency states that the software would access at least 50 million websites and be able to disseminate data from various web-based sources, including social media. The Defense Department is preferably seeking a tool that can also create maps using open-source location data collected from apps and social media sites.

This endeavor relies heavily on open-source intelligence (OSINT) and is focused largely on Twitter. The solicitation was released on Thursday and names only one specific social media platform, Twitter. The solicitation requests that applicants fulfill five requirement program elements and 12 characteristics, be able to handle data in 150 languages, and provide the entire Twitter historical archive as well as be able to alert the government through its platform and access at least 50 million websites.

When asked whether Congress would begin implementing rigorous background checks for interns, such as those placed in Democrat offices by Fang, the speaker said she doesn’t believe they are necessary.

“I think we should make sure that everybody knows what they are being subjected to, but I don’t know that it means that we have to do background checks for every intern who comes into the Capitol,” she said.

Swalwell previously refused to answer The Federalist’s questions about the extent of his relationship with Fang, ignoring allegations from sources directly familiar with the counterintelligence investigation of Fang who told The Federalist that she and Swalwell may have had a sexual relationship.

Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA) has been taking a beating on social media in recent days after it was revealed he was the apparent target of a Chinese spy that he was close with early in his political career.

On Thursday, Swalwell lashed out at Trump campaign Senior Advisor Jason Miller after he shared a story from the Daily Caller reporting how Swalwell spoke at the same event in 2013 where the suspected Chinese spy who worked for Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) spoke.

The Daily Caller report said Swalwell and Russell Lowe, the other suspected spy, spoke at the event hosted by the California State University, East Bay Chinese Student Association to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

In response to Miller sharing the story, Swalwell replied, "Just a reminder: pay your child support @JasonMillerinDC. Kids shouldn’t go hungry because Dad is a deadbeat. Feed them for the holidays."

Swalwell was referring to how Miller is in a long dispute over how much child support he can pay for the son he fathered during the Trump campaign in 2016.
