The Chinese regime’s top diplomat has been reaching out to members of the House Intelligence Committee to deflect responsibility for the flow of illicit fentanyl into the United States, according to a Republican lawmaker.

Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), a member of the Doctors Caucus and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, is among many lawmakers who have voiced concern about how Chinese traffickers are sending fentanyl precursors to Mexico for cartels to convert to the end product and send across the border.
