State Department Fires Foreign Service Officer in Secret Relationship With Chinese Communist


President Donald Trump’s State Department has fired a foreign service officer who admitted to hiding a relationship with a woman who had known ties to the Chinese Communist Party, the department confirmed to The Daily Signal

Investigative journalist James O’Keefe uncovered that Foreign Service Officer Daniel Choi admitted on a hidden camera to hiding his relationship with the daughter of a senior Chinese Communist Party official.

“This termination is consistent with the executive order signed by President Trump affirming both his constitutional authority over our foreign policy and the State Department’s responsibility to carry out his directives,” Tommy Pigott, principal deputy spokesperson at the State Department, said in a statement shared with The Daily Signal. “UnderSecretary [Marco] Rubio’s leadership, we will maintain a zero-tolerance policy for any employee who is caught undermining our country’s national security.”

Trump signed an executive order in February stating, “All officers or employees charged with implementing the foreign policy of the United States must under Article II do so under the direction and authority of the President.”
