DHS has not responded to the request for information on the Minnesota governor’s ties to China.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer has followed up on the subpoena, sent to the Department of Homeland Security a month ago, requesting information regarding Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s ties to the Chinese Community Party.
Chair Comer said that, since “DHS has been unresponsive to the subpoena” and “[b]ecause of DHS’s lack of compliance with the Committee’s legal subpoena and unwillingness to cooperate in good faith,” the committee is releasing whistleblower information from communications with the federal agency.
Chair Comer continued, “The Committee’s concerns surrounding CCP elite capture operations seeking to influence public officials like Governor Walz have intensified given recent reports about Governor Walz’s extensive travel history, unusual interactions in the People’s Republic of China, and recent inability to answer basic questions about his involvement in China.“
The oversight chair also stated, “Federal agencies must be vigilant in identifying, countering, and deterring CCP elite capture. It appears to the Committee that DHS officials are specifically concerned about Governor Walz’s involvement with the PRC, but that DHS leadership is covering up such concerns by refusing to produce related documents and communications.“
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For wisdom for Chair Comer as he seeks information on the vice presidential candidate’s connection to the CCP.
- For Secretary Mayorkas and DHS officials to be transparent and share information with federal legislators.
