Recent disclosures that have been obtained by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, a Kentucky Republican, from a whistleblower has provided more evidence concerning the relationship between Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, and the Chinese Communist Party. Things do not look good for Walz. Could this sink The Harris-Walz campaign come November? We can only hope.
“According to recently received whistleblower disclosures, we’ve learned of a non-classified, Microsoft Teams group chat among DHS employees and additional intelligence reports that contain information regarding a longstanding connection between the CCP and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz,” Comer said in a post published on X.

Comer then said, “Specifically, through whistleblower disclosures, we’ve 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 our investigation. We’ve also learned that further relevant information regarding Governor Walz has been memorialized in both classified and unclassified documents in the control of DHS.”
The statement then said that a subpoena has been issued to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, demanding he surrender any intelligence reports, communications, and documents having to do with Walz and his many connections to the CCP.

Comer is also subpoenaing all intelligence information reports and regional intelligence notes from November 2023 to present related to Walz. Comer, last month, revealed that Walz has “engaged and partnered with” Chinese entities, making him “susceptible” to the CCP’s strategy of “elite capture,” which seeks to co-opt influential figures in elite political, cultural and academic circles to “influence the United States to the benefit of the communist regime and the detriment of Americans.” Comer has pointed to reports that Walz, while working as a teacher in the 1990s, organized a trip to China for Alliance High School students. The costs were reportedly “paid by the Chinese government.”
Comer is investigating Walz’s 1994-created private company named “Educational Travel Adventures, Inc.,” which coordinated annual student trips to China until 2003 and was led by Walz. The company reportedly “dissolved four days after he took congressional office in 2007.” Comer said Walz has traveled to China an estimated “30 times.”
“In its investigation, the Committee has highlighted the importance of U.S. officials being cognizant of CCP political and psychological warfare efforts that seek to threaten national security,” Comer stated just a month ago.
The chairman then pointed out the time Walz spent in Congress, stating that the now Minnesota governor was a fellow at the Macau Polytechnic University, which is a Chinese institution that referred to itself as having a “long-held devotion to and love for the motherland.” Yikes.
“At the time he disclosed serving as a Macau fellow, Mr. Walz also had significant credit card debt,” Comer said last month upon launching the investigation, noting that in 2019, Walz headlined the 27th National Convention for the U.S. China Peoples Friendship Association in Minnesota.
“Governor Walz spoke alongside the president of the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, which, a year later, the Department of State exposed as ‘a Beijing-based organization tasked with co-opting subnational governments,’ including efforts to ‘directly and malignly influence state and local leaders to promote the PRC’s global agenda,’” Comer said.
Let’s hope this investigation bears fruit, which means we actually see Walz held accountable for his actions if he was indeed involved in some shady activity with China.
