On Monday, House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky, “issued a subpoena to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for intelligence reports, documents, and communications in its possession related to Governor Timothy Walz’s connections to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP),” according to a press release.
“The Committee has recently received whistleblower disclosures informing the Committee of serious concern among Department of Homeland personnel regarding a longstanding connection between the CCP and Minnesota Governor Timothy James Walz,” wrote Comer. “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 Oversight Committee has been conducting a government-wide investigation of how federal agencies are addressing the CCP’s infiltration and influence campaign to weaken and corrupt the United States.
In August Comer launched an investigation into Walz and his China connections and sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray requesting information.
Now you may think this is a Republican witch hunt against a Democrat. And it may be.
Or is there more?
