BREAKING: China ‘Targeted’ Tim Walz For Influence Operations, Bombshell DHS Texts Show

U.S. House investigators announced on Tuesday the bombshell discovery of documents within the Department of Homeland Security where officials confirmed their suspicions that Chinese intelligence officials had “targeted” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for coopting before he was selected as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate.

The New York Post reported on those documents, produced by a DHS whistleblower, which include online comments from a senior agency official warning that their peers have “no idea” how extensive China’s influence could be over a Vice President Walz. “You all have no idea how this feeds into what prc [the People’s Republic of China] has been doing here with him and local gov,” a DHS official wrote Aug. 6 on an internal “Nation State Threat — National Functional Team” chat. “It’s seriously a line of the intel,” the official added with alarm. “Target someone who is perceived they can get to DC.”

The U.S. House Oversight Committee disclosed its conversations with the DHS whistleblower who said federal officials for some time had tracked Walz’s interactions with Chinese Communist Party members. During an October 1st vice presidential debate, the Democrat said he had been a “knucklehead” to accept lavish trips and travel perks from organizations connected to China’s government, visiting the nation at least 30 times over the course of his career as a high school teacher and later a member of Congress. Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) wrote that the document discovery “raises serious concerns about the Department’s fulfillment of its mission to resolutely protect the nation’s homeland.”

“The Committee is releasing the above message as an example of communications within DHS’s possession in which DHS officials express concern about the CCP targeting politicians and their influence operations at the state and local levels — and specifically, concerns about the CCP’s influence operations as they relate to Governor Walz,” Comer wrote in a Tuesday letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. “A whistleblower has provided further information to the Committee that indicates officials from DHS’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) have been involved in the Department’s investigative and/or intelligence work connected with the CCP, the state of Minnesota, and Governor Walz.”

The Post also reports that the whistleblower divulged DHS had “memorialized both classified and unclassified documents” related to Walz’s China connections, some of which relate to his failed courtship of Jenna Wang, the daughter of a Chinese Communist Party official who was engaged to Walz after the two met in 1989. On Monday, Wang went public with her story that approaching marriage with Walz nearly drove her to take her own life.

The timeline around Walz’s travels to and from China has emerged as a messy subplot this election season, and Walz has added to the tumult by misrepresenting his time there. Last month the potential veep admitted he “misspoke” when claiming while in Congress that he was in Hong Kong on June 4, 1989, the day of the Tiananmen Square massacre. “I’ve tried to do the best I can, but I’ve not been perfect, and I’m a knucklehead at times, but it’s always been about that those same people elected me to Congress for 12 years,” Walz stated during his disastrous debate against Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH).

In addition to the whistleblower’s testimony, Rep. Comer has requested that DHS provide all relevant records by November 4th, the day before the election, related to the internal group chat where Walz’s compromising position was discussed. He is also ordering DHS Office of Legislative Affairs senior adviser Jacob Marx to sit for a transcribed interview. Neither DHS nor the Harris campaign responded to the Post’s request for comment.
