Biden to return donation from ex-California Sen. Barbara Boxer over Chinese lobbying - SFChronicle.com
Biden to return donation from ex-California Sen. Barbara Boxer over Chinese lobbying - SFChronicle.com: President-elect Joe Biden’s inaugural committee said it would refund a $500 donation from former California Sen. Barbara Boxer because she was working as a lobbyist for a Chinese firm that allegedly helps Beijing imprison hundreds of thousands of Uighur Muslims in concentration camps.
The controversy prompted Boxer to de-register as a foreign agent Tuesday.
Initially, Boxer said in federal documents she signed last week that she would be “providing strategic consulting services” to the U.S. subsidiary of Hikvision, a Chinese firm that the Trump administration placed on a trade blacklist last year after the Defense Department said the company was controlled by the Chinese military.
