EXCLUSIVE - Chinese spy threat to U.S. CONGRESS: Capitol Hill warned to be on high alert after suspected Beijing espionage plot was uncovered in British parliament

Congress has been warned to be on high alert for Chinese spies after a suspected Beijing espionage plot was uncovered in British parliament.

Earlier this week, a parliamentary researcher with links to MPs with classified information was arrested for 'spying for China.'

The suspect is thought to be linked to numerous Conservative members of Parliament - including Security Minister Tom Tugendhat and Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Alicia Kearns.

According to reports, several of the members with links to the suspected spy are 'privy to classified or highly sensitive information', however none have been accused of wrongdoing.

The suspect, who was arrested under the Official Secrets Act, has not been charged, and has said he is 'completely innocent.' He has not been named by police.

The suspected breach sparked a Metropolitan Police investigation and led to MI5 warning more operatives could be working in the highest levels of British democracy. Now the United States has been warned it could be a target.

Rep. Mike Gallagher, who chairs the House Select Committee on the Communist Party, told DailyMail.com that educating members of Congress about the threat of infiltration is critical - especially in light of the recent UK incident.

'One thing we're trying to do here on the Select Committee is to educate people -members and staff- about the nature of not only traditional CCP espionage but United Front work,' he said.

'I think United Front work is a poorly understood phenomenon. I don't think your average member understands what it is. The more we can educate members about this phenomenon, the better they can defend themselves.'

The United Front is the political strategy utilized by the CCP to advance China's influence and power globally through a variety of methods, including by deploying spies to try to change policies of foreign nations...

WTF?
We have thousands of illegal aliens coming over the borders every day.
Should not Congress be on high alert already?
Any excuse for more government control of the citizenry. Yep.

Former head of the Russia Desk for British intelligence (MI6) did give us the Steele Dossier so I am not sure how reliable it is.

Ha.

If they try that spy stuff in this country they’d have to do something like have an agent get a job as Senator Dianne Feinstein’s driver and have him listen to her phone and in person conversations all the time and send the information to China. Sounds like one of those novels by Tom Clancy or Robert Ludlum or somebody. Wild.

Oh, wait.

It’s hard to get any further upset about the Chicoms after you realize they literally own the presidency.

Just let those foreign spies try to torture Mitch into giving secrets they can send to Communist China. He’ll never give in. Too tough.

Exactly. Bidens been paid for results and members of congress are getting in the way.

I think these foreign interests are getting a bit impatient. First they sent a message to RFK, and now to congress. could it be certain interests don’t want their expenses audited?

Who gives a crap anymore. We have been sold out to foriegn interests for years now. Up until the 60s we fought infiltration at every level. But not lately. We are to turn a blind eye to Chinese and how they bought off our supposed leaders. The only thing that will avert crisis is the 2nd ammendment. That’s why they are working hard to eviserate that!

Too bad the FBI was busy looking at parents who were complaining about their kids getting raped by trannies in the girls bathrooms.

It was rumored that the CCP has imbedded itself into nearly all Federal, State, and Local political offices throughout California. Apparently Fang-Fang hit up on Swallow-Well and some local mayors. We all know about DiFiChiSpy and her 20 year spy.
