Jim Banks, R-Indiana, took to the Senate floor Wednesday to call out Neville Roy Singham, saying the communist tech tycoon\u2019s vast nonprofit network is helping China wage \u201cpolitical warfare\u201d against the U.S.\n\nSingham, a 72-year-old American who sold his tech company for $785 million in 2017 and now lives in Shanghai, has funneled $278 million into the broad network of nonprofits since 2017, according to a Fox News Digital investigation. These groups regularly organize and participate in anti-ICE, anti-Israel and pro-Iran demonstrations.\n\n\u201cFrom his Shanghai office, which he shares with a CCP propaganda outlet whose avowed mission is to \u2018tell China\u2019s story well,\u2019 Singham began funding a complex network of left-wing NGOs and nonprofits that advance the interests of the Chinese Communist Party,\u201d Banks said.\n\n\u201cCode Pink, that radical organization that chases me and other senators throughout the halls of Congress, used to, on occasion, condemn CCP human rights abuses,\u201d he added. \u201cAfter Singham started lavishly funding the group\u2014and married its co-founder\u2014Code Pink stopped criticizing the Chinese government and started defending it.\u201d\n\nCode Pink, which was co-founded by Singham\u2019s wife, Jodie Evans, regularly confronts lawmakers on Capitol Hill, and publicly states that \u201cChina is Not Our Enemy.\u201d Evans and Singham have not responded to Fox News Digital\u2019s repeated requests for comment.\n\nFox News Digital obtained footage of Sen. Rick Scott, R-Florida, being targeted by Code Pink on Wednesday over the conflict in Iran. Scott pushed back, questioning whether the group was bothered by the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel.\n\nThe Code Pink agitators did not respond to Scott\u2019s question.\n\nBanks\u2019 floor speech also addressed Secretary of State Marco Rubio\u2019s call to combat far-left political terrorism which has taken root across the globe and in the U.S.\n\nRubio spoke to more than 60 countries at a summit in Washington, D.C., earlier this month, saying that networks are coordinating across multiple countries, providing training instructions and using encrypted communication to foment unrest. He said that international cooperation is critical to disrupting the financing of dangerous organizations, and that some are working with hostile foreign states.\n\n\u201cFor far too long, however, our counterterrorism doctrine has had a blind spot \u2013 a blind spot when it comes to extremist violence from the political left, Rubio said. \u201cEven today, the very idea that far-left terrorism could be a serious threat is treated as a right-wing fever dream, or worse, as a dangerous fascist conspiracy.\u201d\n\nSingham currently faces a grand jury investigation in the Southern District of New York, a probe which was authorized by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. The grand jury investigation focuses on Singham\u2019s finances, and seeks to uncover any financial crimes that have taken place as he funds his pro-CCP network of nonprofits. Singham has not been charged to date.\n\nEarlier this year, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent held a meeting in New York with Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon, where he urged the firm to cooperate with the Justice Department\u2019s investigation into Singham\u2019s financial network, according to sources familiar with the discussion.\n\nOne source familiar with the meeting told Fox News Digital the exchange was amicable rather than adversarial, adding that Solomon signaled Goldman Sachs was prepared to cooperate with the Justice Department\u2019s probe.\n\n\u201cAll distributions from Mr. Singham\u2019s donor-advised fund were made to legally recognized nonprofit organizations, as determined by the IRS, a Goldman Sachs spokesperson told Fox News Digital. \u201cNo distributions have been made from the account since August 2023, and it was closed in early 2024.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-07-31T07:49:23Z", "2026-07-31T07:50:48Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.banks.senate.gov/news/press-releases/fox-news-digital-senator-targets-alleged-china-linked-singham-network-in-fiery-floor-speech/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6294000670313835, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
