WASHINGTON (TND) -- The House Oversight Committee on Thursday condemned the FBI for allegedly refusing to cooperate with the committee's inquiry into allegations Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz worked with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

The committee in August claimed Walz had been to China over 30 times and had been a fellow at a Chinese institution "that maintains a devotion to the CCP." Committee chair Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., demanded FBI Director Christopher Wray submit documents and communications related to conversations between Walz and CCP-connected entities.

In a follow-up letter to Wray Thursday, the representative condemned the FBI for allegedly dodging the inquiry.

"The deadline to produce such documents and information has passed, and the Bureau has failed to provide any response to the Committee," he wrote. "The FBI's silence regarding Mr. Walz's documented relations with CCP affiliates is inexcusable."

"The FBI told the Committee that the Bureau's Foreign Influence Task Force investigates this kind of CCP activity," he added. "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."

Rep. Comer demanded Wray comply with the demands within just seven days.

The National Desk (TND) reached out to the Harris campaign for comment, but did not receive a response prior to publication.

Gov. Walz in August fielded backlash after a video resurfaced showing him praising a a pro-Palestinian Muslim leader. That individual is allegedly responsible for spreading antisemitic content, including a pro-Hitler film.
