'Compromised': Democratic Aide Fired for China Ties; GOP Demands Investigation
By Andrew Thornebrooke | October 31, 2022
Congressional Republicans have called for an investigation following the revelation that an aide to a Democratic lawmaker was fired for seeking to facilitate meetings on behalf of the Chinese Embassy in Washington.
Barbara Hamlett, who worked on Capitol Hill for 34 years, was a scheduler for Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) at the time she allegedly contacted several congressional staffers and attempted to arrange meetings between them and various officials working at the Chinese Embassy, the National Review reported.
After she allegedly requested one such meeting with a Republican staffer, a Republican office reported Hamlett to the House's sergeant-at-arms, the report states. A review of her conduct determined that she had attempted to arrange the meetings for China.
The incident has incensed Republican leadership, which has denounced the creeping influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in American politics.
"The Chinese Communist Party wants to establish influence over every aspect of American life, especially our own government," Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said in an email.
"I'm proud that my work in Congress has gotten me banned and sanctioned by the Chinese Communist Party. I hope it sends a clear message to Beijing that Washington will never be beholden to the Chinese Communist Party."
Beyer's office stated that it had no prior knowledge of Hamlett’s actions and acted promptly.
"Congressman Beyer was totally unaware of these activities prior to being contacted by the House sergeant-at-arms," said Aaron Fritschner, Beyer's deputy chief of staff, according to National Review.
"As soon as he learned of them, he followed every directive he was given by security officials. The staffer in question is no longer employed by the office of Congressman Beyer."
