House Republicans are working to obtain Department of Homeland Security documents related to Minnesota governor Tim Walz’s connections to China after a whistleblower revealed their existence in protected disclosures.
House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R., Ky.) is sending a subpoena to DHS for intelligence reports on Walz’s ties to China and records from an internal Microsoft Teams group chat with information about Walz.
“Specifically, through whistleblower disclosures, the Committee has learned of a non-classified, Microsoft Teams group chat among DHS employees—titled ‘NST NFT Bi-Weekly Sync’—that contains information about Governor Walz that is relevant to the Committee’s investigation. The Committee has also learned that further relevant information regarding Governor Walz has been memorialized in both classified and unclassified documents in the control of DHS,” Comer said in a subpoena cover letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
The subpoena instructs DHS to turn over the documents no later than October 7.
