Lawmakers raise alarm over Neville Roy Singham’s $278M network spreading CCP propaganda in the U.S.

Members of Congress are raising concerns about a surge in pro-Chinese Communist Party propaganda and rhetoric in the U.S., citing organizations tied to Shanghai-based Marxist mogul Neville Roy Singham.
During interviews with Fox News Digital, a number of House and Senate members warned that nonprofits funded by Singham may be sowing discord in the U.S. by promoting communist propaganda and anti-American rhetoric.
«When you talk about the non-profits, you have to look at how China adversely uses or how China uses our non-profit 501(c)(3) status organizations to work as. CCP influencers,» Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., told Fox News Digital.

«Singham’s group is one of these, as they try to spread and influence other organizations and participate with other organizations in protests, in demonstrations that are going to create chaos in the streets of U.S. cities,» she said.

«When it comes to China specifically, they have used soft propaganda as a main point of entry with the United States,» she added.
According to a Fox News Digital investigation, Singham has funneled $278 million into the broad network of nonprofits since 2017. Officials from the Justice, State and Treasury departments are investigating financial activity tied to the network, including $22.5 million in funding directed to a group called The People’s Forum.
Singham’s wife, Jodie Evans, is the co-founder of CodePink, a nonprofit that received $1.33 million from Singham, according to the Fox News Digital investigation. Over the years, CodePink has supported communist regimes, including the Chinese Communist Party and Cuba’s government.

While CodePink’s funding comes directly from Singham, not the government of China, critics allege that the difference is without a distinction.
«CodePink are AstroTurf weirdos bought and paid for by Communist China. They get their money from the most oppressive regime on the planet,» Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., told Fox News Digital. «They’re a joke.»
CodePink filed an ethics complaint against Hawley for what he said was simply «exposing that they take blood money from China.»
Members of Congress raised concerns about how CodePink and the Singham network are able to operate without registering under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), which requires individuals doing public relations, engaging in political work or lobbying for any foreign government to disclose activities and finances to the Department of Justice.

«How they’re not registered under FARA is hard to understand because they’re very consistent. I mean, let’s at least give them credit for that,» Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital.
Even former members of Congress and Capitol Hill staffers are required to register under FARA if they lobby for a country or organization backed by a foreign country.
«It should be no surprise that, whether it’s folks associated with the Communist Party of China or, frankly, other anti-American groups, would be funding these groups in the United States. [These groups’] sole role is pretty evident, to protect, defend and support anti-Americans,» he added. «Whether it is terrorist groups [or] terrorist regimes like the one in Iran or the one in Cuba.»
SINGHAM-BACKED, PRO-CHINA GROUP DROPS HUGE SUM ON MANHATTAN HQ AS FEDS PROBE SHADOWY NETWORK
Singham sold his technology consulting company, Thoughtworks, in 2017 for an estimated $785 million and moved to Shanghai. In 2023, The New York Times published an exposé that connected him to the CCP and chronicled his determination to spread his radical, anti-West ideology in the U.S. and across the globe.
In its investigation, Fox News Digital followed the money trail and network that Singham uses to promote communist and Marxist ideologies among Americans, finding that he established an organizing hub in the U.S. with actions against Immigration and Customs Enforcement and protests against Israel, the U.S. and the nation’s domestic and foreign policies.
«The real crux of the matter is the genesis of that money — is [Singham] really that rich,» Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., asked Fox News Digital. «Or is it a false rich that, yeah, he’s got a billion dollars, but the billion dollars came from China communist China that they are actually funneling him, and then making believe, ‘Oh, no, he made that on his own.’ We’ve got to find out exactly where that money came from.»

Gimenez also noted what other lawmakers are pointing out: Individual agitators and demonstrators, in addition to Singham himself, are not registered with the Justice Department’s FARA office.
While Singham’s dealings have been investigated by a number of Congressional committees in the past, his residence in Shanghai shields him from being subpoenaed to appear before Congress
House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., has described Singham as «an individual who lives in Shanghai, maintains business ties with companies and individuals linked to the CCP, works with and physically alongside a foreign propaganda company, and attends CCP forums on how to promote the party abroad.»

Clinton, Obama-era Democratic heavyweights Penn and Emanuel rip NYC’s Mamdani over taxes, Israel, blast DSA
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Two prominent Democratic figures with deep ties to the Clinton and Obama administrations publicly criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani this week, with former Clinton adviser Mark Penn attacking the mayor’s proposed property tax plan while former Obama White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel recounted what he described as a private conversation in which he challenged Mamdani’s rhetoric on Israel.
The criticism is notable because it comes from longtime Democrat insiders rather than Republican opponents and focuses on two of the issues that have defined Mamdani’s rise political rise: his far-left economic agenda and his positions on Israel.
Fox News Digital reached out to Penn, Emanuel and Mamdani’s office for comment.
NYC MAYOR MAMDANI CALLS THREAT OF RICH PEOPLE LEAVING NYC OVER TAXES ‘IMAGINED’

Penn, a longtime Democrat strategist and former pollster and adviser to President Bill Clinton, accused Mamdani of dramatically understating the scope of his proposed pied-à-terre tax after the mayor released a public database identifying property owners who could be subject to it.
In a lengthy post on X, Penn argued the city’s valuation system had swept in nearly one million property owners rather than the roughly 30,000 luxury homeowners Penn said had previously been described as the intended targets.
«The $5 million figure was a fake,» Penn wrote, arguing the city’s valuation system had improperly classified properties and would force homeowners to prove they should not be taxed.
RAHM EMANUEL WARNS NEW GENERATION OF DEM SOCIALISTS DON’T LIKE AMERICA

Penn also argued the proposal could depress property values, discourage investment in New York City and potentially raise constitutional questions.
Meanwhile, Emanuel said during an appearance on the Unholy Podcast that he met privately with Mamdani for roughly 90 minutes and challenged the self-described democratic socialist mayor over his views on Israel.
Emanuel said he praised portions of Mamdani’s domestic agenda, including childcare, but criticized Mamdani’s past use of the phrase «from the river to the sea.»

«I know where there’s a line. You don’t,» Emanuel recalled telling Mamdani.
Emanuel said both calls for a «Greater Israel» and the slogan «from the river to the sea» would lead to «perpetual conflict.»
After clips of Emanuel’s remarks circulated online, Mamdani communications director Anna Bahr publicly disputed the account.
«can confirm this …. did not happen,» Bahr wrote on X in response to a post summarizing Emanuel’s remarks.
It was not immediately clear from Bahr’s post whether she was disputing that the meeting occurred or Emanuel’s characterization of the conversation.
Emanuel has also recently criticized the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) more broadly. In a post on X this week, he argued Democrats should focus on winning competitive elections rather than what he characterized as ideological distractions.

«You can be focused on winning tough races, flipping red seats blue. Or you can be focused on abolishing prisons and… the Senate and Supreme Court? You can’t do both,» Emanuel wrote. «I’m for winning this November and ending Trump’s corruption — and I’m also for putting an end to all the distractions from the DSA.»
Penn, Emanuel and Mamdani’s office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for additional comment before publication.

Chile revisará el listado de víctimas de la dictadura de Pinochet tras encontrar en Argentina a una mujer que figuraba como desaparecida
El gobierno del presidente José Antonio Kast en Chile anunció este miércoles que revisará el registro oficial de detenidos desaparecidos de la dictadura de Augusto Pinochet, luego de que un examen de ADN confirmara que Bernarda Vera, incluida durante décadas en ese listado como víctima de desaparición forzada, fue localizada con vida en Miramar, cerca de Mar del Plata.
El ministro de Justicia y Derechos Humanos de Chile, Fernando Rabat, informó que se analizará la nómina oficial de víctimas de la dictadura (1973-1990) para verificar que no existan errores. La medida fue anunciada tras la repercusión que generó el caso de Vera, una militante opositora al régimen que figuraba como desaparecida desde 1973.
“Vamos a determinar oficialmente que no contenga errores”, afirmó Rabat en una entrevista con Radio Infinita, al referirse al Informe de la Comisión Nacional de Verdad y Reconciliación —conocido como Informe Rettig—, elaborado durante el gobierno de Patricio Aylwin (1990-1994), que identificó a 1.469 detenidos desaparecidos durante la dictadura, entre ellos Vera.

El caso de Bernarda Vera
El caso salió a la luz en septiembre de 2025, cuando medios chilenos informaron que Vera —militante del extinto Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria (MIR), hoy de 80 años— había sido localizada en Miramar, una ciudad ubicada a unos 45 kilómetros de Mar del Plata.
La búsqueda estuvo a cargo de funcionarios del Plan Nacional de Búsqueda, un programa estatal creado para esclarecer las circunstancias de desaparición y determinar el destino de las víctimas que aún permanecen sin paradero conocido.
El 27 de julio, un examen de ADN ordenado por la Justicia chilena confirmó con una probabilidad de identificación superior al 99,9999% que la mujer encontrada en Argentina era Bernarda Vera.

Según el Informe Rettig, Vera fue detenida en octubre de 1973, cuando tenía 27 años, luego de participar en el asalto a un retén policial en Neltume, una zona cordillerana ubicada a unos 850 kilómetros de Santiago y cercana a la frontera con Argentina. Allí, el MIR intentó establecer un foco guerrillero para resistir a la dictadura instaurada tras el golpe de Estado contra Salvador Allende.
De acuerdo con versiones no oficiales, Vera —quien utilizaba el alias clandestino “Anita” y tenía una hija de cinco años al momento de su desaparición— permaneció en la zona montañosa hasta diciembre de 1973 y luego logró escapar hacia Argentina. Más tarde viajó a Suecia y regresó a Sudamérica a fines de la década de 1990.
Su familia había perdido contacto con ella en los días previos al golpe del 11 de septiembre de 1973. Tiempo después, fue informada de que Vera había sido condenada a muerte en rebeldía en un proceso judicial vinculado al ataque al retén de Neltume.
La revisión de la pensión familiar
Rabat indicó que el caso será notificado al Consejo de Defensa del Estado para que “adopte las decisiones que corresponden” respecto de la pensión que la familia de Vera recibió durante años en el marco de la ley de reparación. “No quiero calificar la buena o mala fe de quienes recibieron la pensión porque no me corresponde. Lo que estoy señalando es que no debió haberse pagado esa pensión”, afirmó el ministro.

El nombramiento de Rabat generó polémica en su momento, ya que a principios de los años 2000 integró el equipo jurídico que defendió a Pinochet en el juicio por la Operación Colombo y en el Caso Riggs.
El ministro sostuvo que su cartera “fortalecerá” el Plan Nacional de Búsqueda y sumará funcionarios para revisar el listado de detenidos desaparecidos, pese a los recortes ordenados por el presidente Kast. El programa fue lanzado en 2023 por el gobierno del entonces presidente Gabriel Boric (2022-2026) y es considerado una de las principales políticas de memoria histórica impulsadas desde el fin de la dictadura, al ser la primera vez que el Estado chileno lidera la búsqueda de las más de mil víctimas que aún permanecen desaparecidas.
El régimen de Pinochet se extendió durante diecisiete años y dejó, según cifras oficiales, más de 40.000 víctimas entre ejecutados, detenidos desaparecidos, presos políticos y torturados. Más de 3.200 opositores murieron a manos de agentes del Estado.

Russia launches ballistic missile attack on Kyiv hours after Zelenskyy warns of major strike
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Russia launched a ballistic missile attack on Ukraine’s capital early Thursday, with multiple explosions reported across Kyiv, according to Ukrainian officials.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko urged residents to seek shelter as blasts rocked the city. Reuters, citing a witness, reported hearing multiple explosions.
The Ukrainian Air Force also said Russia was targeting the capital with ballistic missiles.

Klitschko later said several non-residential sites caught fire following the strikes. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
The attack came just hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Russia appeared to be preparing a major overnight assault.
«I received a report from Air Force Commander Anatolii Kryvonozhko,» Zelenskyy wrote on X Wednesday, saying Russia had prepared a «massive attack several days ago» and that there was a «high probability» it would be carried out overnight.

«It is important that our partners fully understand what is happening and that the protection of lives directly depends on their readiness, or lack thereof, to help us with air defense missiles,» Zelenskyy said.
The Ukrainian president made the appeal after returning from the United States, where he met with President Donald Trump.
Trump recently announced at the NATO summit in Turkey that the United States would license Ukraine to manufacture Patriot air defense systems, according to The Associated Press.
«First and foremost, this concerns the United States and those partners that have Patriot missiles and can provide them to support our defense,» Zelenskyy wrote.
