Congress Investigates China-Based Billionaire Funding Groups Linked to LA Riots

House Republicans and Senator Josh Hawley have launched investigations into Neville Roy Singham, a China-based billionaire allegedly funding radical groups linked to the recent riots against ICE operations in Los Angeles. Singham, who resides in Shanghai with his wife Jodie Evans, is accused of supporting nonprofits like the Party for Liberation and Socialism and advocacy groups such as CODEPINK, which have protested ICE actions, though no direct involvement in violence has been proven. Congressional leaders are also probing potential ties between Singham's organizations and the Chinese Communist Party, with subpoenas threatened if Singham refuses to testify. Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel and Senator Hawley are investigating the funding sources behind the riots, which have involved violence including attacks on law enforcement and property destruction. The Senate Judiciary Committee has called for DOJ investigations into leftist activist groups linked to Singham, citing concerns over foreign influence advancing CCP interests. These developments reflect a broader concern over foreign-backed activism impacting U.S. domestic unrest and law enforcement operations.
