Email from Rep. McCaul Beating China in the Race for AI Dominance In 1996, as an attorney at the Department of Justice, I prosecuted the Johnny Chung case, which uncovered that China was funneling money into the campaign coffers of the DNC. They wanted to influence our presidential election in favor of Bill Clinton because they believed his administration would give them greater access to sensitive U.S. technology.

They must be allowed to determine their own future — one that I hope will be prosperous, secure, and free. I spoke more about the latest developments in Iran yesterday on Newsmax's American Agenda.
