Recently, Judicial Watch announced its receipt of “47 pages of records from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit about Gov. Tim Walz’s connections to the Chinese Communist Party” (“Emails Reveal Biden DHS and FBI Investigations of Tim Walz and Communist China,” July 29, 2025).
After Harris picked Walz as her running mate last year, Congress set up a committee to investigate his longtime ties to the Chinese Communist Party. The FBI stonewalled in response to the committee’s requests for its info on Walz’s connections to the CCP. The investigation seemed to go nowhere.
Nevertheless, key details about Walz’s ties were widely publicized and may have had some impact on the election. Even the stuff in old newspaper clippings was pretty damning.
We are learning only now that people in the Biden administration who had the job of tracking CCP influence operations also felt, as soon as Walz got the nod, that the choice of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as running mate was a boon for China.
Judicial Watch quotes from the emails it got:
An email dated August 6, 2024, the day Walz was officially named the Democrat vice presidential nominee, shows Homeland Security personnel discussing how they were aware communist China had a plan to target politicians likely to end up in DC, specifically Walz and Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo.
A Homeland Security official whose name is redacted states:
“Walt’s got the Vp. You all have no idea how these feeds into what prc [People’s Republic of China] has been doing here with him and local gov. It’s seriously a line of the intel. Target someone who is perceived they can get to DC.”
Another official responds: “this speaks too to the rin [raw intelligence] you reviewed for us.”
A participant adds: “the perception narrative that has been pushed with one of the local ngos [non-governmental organizations] had direct ties to the former Gov here in Nevada. FBI has lead on a couple of things the only issue is being in the 9th circuit.”
A participant states: “Good to know and yes there involvement with HSI [Homeland Security Investigations] and fbi on things here”.
Another adds: “If anyone has interest I can give provide context in a classified setting.”
An official noted: “But this has more of strategic impact then obviously the general public knows”.
A BBC article titled “ ‘Harris’s no 2 taught in China’: Chinese internet reacts to Walz.” is posted to the non-classified, Microsoft Teams group chat, on August 7, 2024, by a redacted Homeland Security participant in the group.
The article states that Walz “spent a year in the south-eastern province of Guandong in 1989—topic that was trending on Weibo with 12 million views.”
“The fact that it happened in 1989—the year of the Tiananmen Square massacre—was not lost on those commenting on Chinese social media,” the article adds.
A participant in the August 7, 2024, group chat…states: “China is happy.”
We’re only finally hearing about it all now—the insta-reactions of the CCP watchers in Homeland Security to Harris’s choice of Walz—thanks to Judicial Watch. Thank you, Judicial Watch.
None of this is a shocker. Not even the fact that these deliberations and conclusions were covered up by the Biden administration. As they were indeed covered up. Covered up even though “this has more of strategic impact then obviously the general public knows.” At least until the election happened, at which point the clear and present danger of Walz’s coziness with the Chinese Communist Party was no longer so present.
This bozo has let slip, though, that he doesn’t regard it as entirely beyond the bounds of possibility that he will run for the presidency himself. Despite his embarrassing performance in 2024. So America is not quite out of the woods yet.
