 House Republicans Probe Minnesota Governor Walz’s Ties to China Amid Whistleblower Allegations

...

In his letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Comer detailed the committee’s findings: “Specifically, through whistleblower disclosures, the Committee has learned of a non-classified, Microsoft Teams group chat among DHS employees—titled ‘NST NFT Bi-Weekly Sync’—that contains information about Governor Walz that is relevant to the Committee’s investigation. The Committee has also learned that further relevant information regarding Governor Walz has been memorialized in both classified and unclassified documents in the control of DHS.”

The subpoena sets a deadline of October 7 for DHS to provide the requested information. Comer emphasized the importance of these documents in helping the committee assess the extent of Chinese political influence in the U.S., stating, “The information required of DHS by the Committee’s subpoena will inform the Committee’s understanding of how successful the CCP has been in waging political warfare in and against the United States, how effectively federal agencies are addressing the communist regime’s campaign, and what reforms are necessary to counter this threat.”

This inquiry is part of a broader investigation by the oversight panel into the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) attempts to infiltrate U.S. institutions and influence American political figures. The scrutiny of Walz’s ties to China intensified after Vice President Kamala Harris selected him as her running mate in August, raising questions about his long-standing connections to the Chinese government.

Walz’s history with China dates back to his early career as a school teacher and politician. He traveled to China several times, with one trip notably serving as his honeymoon, planned around the fifth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. His academic ties to China continued into his congressional career, including his position as a visiting fellow at Macao Polytechnic University, an institution connected to China’s Belt and Road Initiative. This initiative is seen by many as a strategic tool for China to expand its global influence through economic partnerships.

In Congress, Walz also played a role in securing millions of dollars for research at the Hormel Institute, a U.S. research facility with ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology — the Chinese lab at the center of theories surrounding the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic. As Comer noted, the Wuhan Institute’s collaboration with China’s People’s Liberation Army, especially in public health research, remains a significant concern.

Walz has often lied about matters both large and small that makes suspicions about his ties to the Chicoms all the more important for Congress to investigate.
