The letter, dated Sept. 12, 2024, lets Wray know that the committee in question has not yet received a response to questions from the political warfare operations of the CCP as they relate to controlling members of the U.S. Congress.
"On August 16, 2024, the Committee requested information about the CCP-affiliated entities and officials with which Mr. Timothy Walz has engaged, as well as any warnings or information the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI or the Bureau) has provided to Mr. Walz or his office about CCP influence operations," the letter reads.
"The deadline to produce such documents and information has passed, and the Bureau has failed to provide any response to the Committee. The FBI's silence regarding Mr. Walz's documented relations with CCP affiliates is inexcusable."
(Related: Did you catch our earlier report suggesting that Walz may have ties to a vast network of "secret police stations" in the U.S. that are controlled by the CCP?)
Is Tim Walz a Chinese operative?
Members of the committee have spent quite a bit of time probing how federal government agencies respond to claims about CCP influence and infiltration tactics. They claim they have the goods on Walz and his secret ties to the CCP.
"During the 118th Congress, the Committee has investigated federal agencies' responses to CCP influence and infiltration tactics, including the FBI's own strategy, on July 17, the Bureau briefed the Committee on CCP influence operations."
"In part based on that briefing, it is clear to the Committee that Mr. Walz's history with CCP-affiliates bears characteristics of such influence operations, and the FBI must produce any information it has regarding this concerning development."
The committee claims that Walz first forged ties to the CCP all the way back in 1993 when he organized a trip to the People's Republic of China (PRC) for his students at Alliance High School. Some of the costs associated with the trip were paid by the Chinese government.
After that, Walz created a private company to coordinate annual student trips to China during which he personally led the tours. Keep in mind that Walz did this while a member of Congress and a fellow at Macau Polytechnic University in China.
"According to the university's website, Macau Polytechnic University exists 'in alignment with China's Belt and Road Initiative,' a political warfare program developed by President Xi Jinping to exert China's influence worldwide," the letter states.
"Mr. Walz has visited the PRC, by his memory, roughly '30 times.' As recently as this year, Mr. Walz met with CCP Consul General Zhao Jian to discuss 'China-U.S. relations and sub-national cooperation.'"
The FBI has shown no interest whatsoever in pursing the matter, which the committee is upset about as it tries to lampoon Walz as perhaps a Chinese spy before Election Day arrives.
"The Committee is concerned that Mr. Walz's involvement with Chinese entities and officials may have allowed the CCP to influence his decision-making as a congressman and governor and potentially would allow the CCP to influence the White House should Mr. Walz be elected vice president," the letter said.
"The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the U.S. House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate 'any matter' at 'any time' under House Rule X."
