The House Oversight Committee announced Friday that it is conducting an investigation into vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz over his "longstanding connections to Chinese Communist Party entities and officials."

"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,” the committee wrote on X.

"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 continued.

"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,” House Oversight added.

In a separate letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, the committee requested information, documents, and communications related to the CCP-affiliated entities and officials connected to Walz.

In the letter, Comer listed examples of CCP-connected entities and officials Walz is associated with, such as the Confucius Institutes, the US-China People’s Friendship Association, and the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the United States.  

Comer noted in his letter that the investigation is thoroughly justified given that the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force"investigates exactly the kind of activity that has since come to light about Governor Walz."
