The House Foreign Affairs Committee is probing several senior State Department officials’ ties to President Biden’s University of Pennsylvania-affiliated think tank, which sits at the center of his classified-document scandal.
Rep. Michael T. McCaul, Texas Republican, raised concerns in a letter Tuesday to Secretary of State Antony Blinken about “tens of millions of dollars” in donations to the university from “undisclosed Chinese investors” between 2017 to 2019 in addition to the discovery of improperly stored classified documents at the Penn Biden Center’s Washington office.
Mr. Blinken is among several senior State Department officials who worked for, or were involved in, the Penn Biden Center before taking their current roles in the Biden administration.
