House Panel Examines Alleged Foreign Influence Networks as Activists Are Removed From Hearing
The House Foreign Affairs Committee held a hearing on covert foreign influence operations in America, focusing on nonprofits and activist groups promoting foreign interests, including those linked to Neville Roy Singham and the Chinese Communist Party .
CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin and other activists disrupted the hearing by wearing T-shirts supporting Iran and Cuba, leading to their removal by Capitol Police about 30 minutes after the hearing started.
Neville Roy Singham has funded far-left groups, including CodePink, with millions of dollars to promote pro-communist and anti-American propaganda, according to Fox News Digital investigations.
Committee Chairman Bill Huizenga stated that adversaries such as China, Cuba, Iran, and Russia use covert campaigns to weaken the U.S., accusing Singham of providing resources to extremist groups to destabilize American society.
