Comer, referencing \u200binformation\u200d from a whistleblower at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), highlighted Walz&#8217;s\u200b extensive\u200c travel to China\u2014reportedly at least 30 visits\u2014and questioned\u200c how he could afford them without financial backing. He asserted that Walz&#8217;s frequent trips and positive remarks about China\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">economic \u200bmodel\u2063 warrant scrutiny<\/a>, particularly given his proximity to the presidency as Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019s running mate. Comer criticized the media\u200c for not adequately investigating Walz&#8217;s relations with the Chinese Communist Party and called for the Oversight Committee to further investigate the\u200b DHS&#8217;s concerns\u200b and any related classified information.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Comer says there are still &lsquo;so many&rsquo; questions on Walz&rsquo;s connections to China<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1870632\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/house-oversight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">House Oversight<\/a> Committee Chairman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/james-comer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">James Comer<\/a> (R-KY) said Sunday that there are still &ldquo;so many&rdquo; questions that remain unanswered about Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tim-walz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Tim Walz&rsquo;s<\/a> (D-MN) connections with China ahead of Election Day.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Walz, Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Kamala Harris&rsquo;s<\/a> running mate, had been monitored by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/department-of-homeland-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Department of Homeland Security<\/a> &ldquo;for many years&rdquo; due to his many visits to China, according to Comer, who said this information was coming from a DHS whistleblower.
