House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) announced a new investigation on Monday into the apparent efforts of Chinese operatives to infiltrate the U.S. military.
Mr. Comer and Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.)—who chairs the Oversight subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs—sent a letter (pdf) to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and FBI Director Chris Wray on Monday, raising alarm about repeated instances of Chinese nationals rushing through the security gates at U.S. military bases. The Republican lawmakers called on Mr. Austin and Mr. Wray to brief Congress about these security incidents by Oct. 16.
