Former US vice president Kamala Harris’s campaign asked Tim Walz if he was a foreign agent for China during his vetting process to become her running mate, CNN reports.
The network cites four sources familiar with the matter who ostensibly are tied to Harris as the former vice president’s inner circle seeks to push back on allegations of antisemitism after Jewish Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro said he was asked during his vetting process if he was a foreign agent for Israel.
CNN says a series of trips Walz took to China sparked the question from Harris’s vetting team.
