The leading Democrat on the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is requesting U.S. intelligence officials to arrange a classified briefing, after suspected Chinese state-backed cyberactors impersonated the panel’s Republican chair to steal sensitive data.

Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) called the CCP’s cyber tactic of impersonating Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.) an “illegal and sanctionable act,” in a letter to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and FBI Director Kash Patel on Sept. 8.
