The House Oversight Committee has announced an investigation into vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz over his ties to China and "longstanding connections to Chinese Communist Party entities and officials."

The committee posted on X, "Chairman James Comer has launched an investigation into Minnesota Governor Timothy Walz, Kamala Harris’s recently announced vice-presidential running mate, following reports detailing the Governor’s longstanding connections to Chinese Communist Party entities and officials."



"Mr. Walz has visited China 30 times, served as a fellow at a Chinese institution that maintains a devotion to the CCP, and spoke alongside the President of a Chinese organization the State Department exposed as a CCP effort to influence and co-opt local leaders," the committee added in the post.

"FBI briefers recently informed the Committee that the Bureau’s Foreign Influence Task Force investigates CCP activity that is similar to China’s engagement with Governor Walz. In a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Chairman Comer is now requesting information, documents, and communications related to the CCP-connected entities and officials Governor Walz has engaged and partnered with."

In the letter sent to FBI Director Wray, Oversight Committee Chairman Comer demanded that the FBI turn over documents related to Walz’s communications with entities or officials in China connected to the CCP.  

Comer listed examples of CCP-connected entities and officials that would need to be considered, including Confucius Institutes, the US China People’s Friendship Association, the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the United States, and others.  

Comer wrote in the letter that the committee had been “conducting a government-wide investigation into the Chinese Communist Party’s political warfare operations against America” and noted that the FBI briefed the Oversight Committee on April 22 and July 17 about activity related to CCP influence in the US. These briefings were meant to inform Congress for the government-wide investigation.

Comer added that the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force "investigates exactly the kind of activity that has since come to light about Governor Walz."
