House Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called the comments “slanderous,” calling the questioning of Chu’s loyalty to the nation “dangerous, unconscionable and xenophobic.”
“I have been accused of serving as the honorary president of an organization … with ties to the Chinese Communist Party. I am not and have never been a member of this group, and I never gave my permission to be listed as the ‘honorary president’ for it or any other organization like it,’” she said in a Feb. 14 statement.authored by Gooden and the five other Republicans, demanding that FBI Director Christopher Wray investigate Ng.
In the letter, Gooden and his co-authors pointed to Chu’s support of Ng — prior to his appointment to APEC — for U.S. secretary of commerce, and Chu’s membership as “honorary president” for the All America Chinese Youth Federation, a communist front group, they alleged, as suggestive of her ties to Ng and to China.
