House Republicans launched an investigation Friday into a China-based billionaire purportedly backing left-wing protest groups in the US — including one linked to the anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) riots in Los Angeles — and asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to determine whether he was part of a larger Chinese Communist Party influence operation.
The reclusive Neville Singham, who was born in Chicago but lives with his activist wife, Jodie Evans, in Shanghai, “may have acted as an agent for the CCP” through his support of the demonstrations, GOP members of the House Oversight Committee alleged in letters to the billionaire himself as well as Bondi that have been obtained by The Post.
Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Declassification Taskforce Chairwoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), who has threatened to subpoena Singham if he refuses to cooperate with their investigation, drew attention to the CCP’s self-described “Strategy of Sowing Discord” in the letters.
“Under General Secretary Xi [Jinping], the CCP is known for its ‘Strategy of Sowing Discord,’ which ‘refers to efforts to make internal disputes amongst the enemy so deep that they become distracted from conflict,'” Comer and Luna wrote in the letters, which were signed by 19 other Oversight GOPers.
The letters focus in particular on Singham’s ties to the Party for Liberation and Socialism (PSL), as well as the People’s Forum and the ANSWER Coalition, but request information about 16 other groups.
“If you are, in fact, carrying out this strategy on behalf of the CCP, you may have a [Foreign Agents Registration Act] registration obligation. In addition, your funding and relationship with the PSL, which has been implicated in the violence and riots in Los Angeles, may violate other federal laws.”
Public social media posts indicate PSL has been involved in the Los Angeles demonstrations

Excellent. prosecute the bastard!
Force the Democrats to defend tehir Chicom buddies openly.
To the fullest extent of the law. Neville Singham is a traitor to the United States Of America and should be treated as such with extreme prejudice.
Does our side do anything other than launch investigations with no end results?
They already know the answers to their questions. Throw him in the Gulag they threw the patriots in.
The man’s wife has an interesting bio.
Living with her must be quite an experience.
Those strongly worded letters must have them shaking in their boots! /sarc
Seize his assets awaiting the outcome of the investigation, just like they do with cars and bank accounts of US citizens.
