James O’Keefe exposes State Department diplomat who secretly dated CCP leader’s daughter
Journalist James O’Keefe has done it again, this time exposing a U.S. State Department diplomat via hidden camera for dating a CCP leader’s daughter and hiding it from the government.
“‘I Defied My Government for Love’: US State Department Foreign Service Officer Dated Senior CCP Leader’s Daughter, Admits ‘She Could Have Been A Spy,’ Refused to Report Her,” reads the headline of O’Keefe’s latest exposé.
“This is Daniel Choi, worked at the State Department for almost 20 years and was in charge of vetting all student visas from China, a program that recent arrests show has become less about education and a pipeline for infiltration and espionage,” O’Keefe tells BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”
“This is a guy in the State Department talking to a random stranger about how he’s sleeping with a Chinese spy,” O’Keefe explains.
“And now he’s been fired, which is really extraordinary because it’s the first time in American history that the executive branch of government has fired a State Department official in this way,” he continues.
“I understand, James,” Gonzales responds, “you are the best at what you do, and I wouldn’t ever ask you — just as you don’t ask a magician to reveal his secrets, I wouldn’t ask you to reveal all of your ... behind-the-scenes secrets, but I just keep watching these, and I’m like, ‘How are you getting these people to talk?’”
“I think we have to look at it a little differently than the way that people look at it when they ask that question, because it’s a good question. But I think if you change your perspective on the way things are in the world, that all around us, everything’s a lie,” O’Keefe explains.
“I’ve come to the conclusion that there’s so much fraud. Things are so systemically broken in our world, in our politics, in our government. There’s a conspiracy of silence that everyone maintains. We all know it’s B.S., but we don’t talk about it,” he continues.
“So,” he adds, “when the official narrative is so far afield from reality, all you have to do is point your hidden camera in any direction, and you’ll contradict what the official narrative is.”

Whistleblower drops bombshell: Did Bill Barr and Fani Willis team up to sabotage Trump's comeback?
Amid President Donald Trump's efforts to drain the swamp, a new explosive whistleblower account reveals troubling allegations about former Attorney General William Barr, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, and the Georgia election case against the president.
According to a Thursday report from Project Veritas, former journalist Patrícia Lélis claims that she has evidence from her work at Howard Stirk Holdings that Trump's former AG "devised legal strategies to target Trump supporters and block his political comeback."
'Barr has put the entire FBI after this woman to get the documents she has.'
Lélis' handwritten meeting notes, emails, and photos, reviewed by Project Veritas, claimed to outline secret discussions from 2021 to 2023 between Barr and others to strategize legal action against Trump, his supporters, and those involved in the January 6th protest.
"I have notes of every single meeting," she told the outlet.
She claimed that during a meeting on September 13, 2021, Barr had discussed the newly formed January 6th Committee. Lélis' notes read, "The investigation will be focused on people close to Trump and make efforts to formally prosecute these people."
According to her notes, Barr hoped to target Steve Bannon, Rudy Giuliani, Enrique Tarrio, the Oath Keepers, and the Proud Boys, among others.
RELATED: The long, murky friendship of Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Barr
Notes dated March 15, 2022, revealed that Barr was allegedly communicating with Fulton County DA Willis and special counsel Jack Smith regarding planned legal action in Florida, Georgia, and New York.
Lélis also wrote, "Barr believes the FBI will go to Trump's house soon."
The FBI raided Mar-a-Lago on August 8, 2022.
On February 27, 2023, Barr allegedly advised Willis to pursue RICO charges against Trump.
In August 2023, Willis brought a 41-count indictment against Trump and 18 codefendants. The indictment charged the president, in part, under Georgia's RICO statute.
Lélis told Project Veritas, "Bill Barr was like, 'We should bring RICO because it's a very difficult type of charge to defend.'"
RELATED: Fani Willis ordered to pay $54K in Trump case for breaking Georgia's open records laws
Lélis said she reported Barr to the FBI and was subsequently prosecuted by the Department of Justice. She was granted political asylum in an undisclosed foreign country.
The outlet stated that it was first tipped off about these allegations by DOJ officials who were concerned about a potential cover-up to attribute Barr's alleged actions to Lélis.
A DOJ official told Project Veritas, "Barr has put the entire FBI after this woman to get the documents she has."
Barr is listed as a distinguished fellow at the Hudson Institute and a partner at the Torridon Group.
Blaze News contacted the Hudson Institute and the Torridon Group to seek a comment from Barr, but they did not respond. Willis' office also did not reply to a request for comment.

BUSTED: Video catches lead J&J scientist apparently admitting vaccine was unsafe in sting operation
Two days ago, guerrilla journalist and O’Keefe Media Group founder James O’Keefe dropped a bombshell on Big Pharma: Johnson & Johnson knew all along that their COVID-19 vaccine was unsafe and ineffective. Joshua Rys, a lead regulatory scientist at the company, just boldly admitted it.
On a recent episode of “Blaze News: The Mandate,” O’Keefe joined Jill Savage and Blaze Media editor in chief Matthew Peterson to dive into the story of how a current employee came to make such a shocking admission.
When he made the confession that Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine was neither safe nor effective, Rys was unaware that he was the victim of a sting operation. He thought he was just getting ice cream with a pretty girl at Coney Island. Little did he know his date was an undercover journalist working for O’Keefe Media Group.
Jill plays the video footage capturing Rys casually admitting Johnson & Johnson knew their vaccine was bad from the outset.
“Do you have any idea the lack of research that was done on those products?” Rys asked his date. “None of that stuff was safe and effective.”
“People wanted it; we gave it to them,” he added, casually eating ice cream. “It’s like, all right, you know what? The cancer patient’s gonna die anyway.”
Rys is not a “low-level guy,” says O’Keefe. “This guy is the lead regulatory scientist for Johnson & Johnson in Brunswick, New Jersey, where he’s responsible for making sure that the product is safe and effective for consumers.”
Later, O’Keefe confronted Rys in person about his comments, but he tried to hide in a bathroom. When that failed, Rys “tried to manipulate [O’Keefe] to get [him] to not run the story.”
Rys and others caught in OMG’s undercover operations “tend to lie in public and be honest in private,” O’Keefe says, but Rys lied even when he was caught.
“That’s symbolic of the entire system right now,” Peterson says.
“The system is completely broken, and the cavalier way in which he just admits that it’s all a lie. And even the metaphor of him engorging himself with ice cream,” O’Keefe sighs. “How do these people sleep at night?”
While O’Keefe has no power to put Rys or others who have been caught making incriminating statements in jail, he is happy to continue being the “public sunlight,” which he says is perhaps the “best disinfectant” there is.
“I think the shame and the righteous indignation and the truth perhaps is most important,” he tells Jill and Peterson.
O’Keefe remains relentless in his pursuit of truth. To hear about OMG’s newest development — an investigative journalism program called “American Swiper” — watch the episode above.

5 things to know about Jill Biden’s gay tyrant fixer, Anthony Bernal
For years, conservatives have pointed out that Joe Biden, with his health in clear decline, could not have been in control of the presidency. And after a Project Veritas exposé that revealed the truth about Biden’s presidency, they’ve been vindicated.
“The actual shadow president of the United States — the man controlling Joe Biden — was Anthony Bernal,” BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler says on “The Liz Wheeler Show.”
Garrett Ziegler, founder of the opposition research nonprofit Marco Polo, has done his research on the mysterious Bernal and likens him to chambermaids of the past.
“In the days of the absolute monarchs of Europe, they had what was called a chambermaid, and essentially this was a male who had been castrated — he was basically a eunuch — and his job was to guard the queen,” Ziegler explains.
“They castrated him because that would take away any ability for him to pose a threat to the king, and I know this is a somewhat unique analogy, but that’s essentially what Bernal was,” he continues.
“Five foot four, diminutive, quiet, homosexual man who was with Jill Biden every hour of the day,” he adds. “This is a guy who goes dress shopping with the First Lady. This is very, very atypical in American history.”
And reporter Steven Nelson uncovered even more disturbing dirt on Bernal.
“Steven Nelson had there on record quotes from current staffers under Anthony Bernal, saying he’s screaming at them during the day, making weird sexual comments to men in the office. This is not my reporting — this is Steven Nelson’s, and it’s been published in the New York Post,” Ziegler explains.
“I mean, all of this is fascinating, especially because we have, up until now, zero idea that this person kind of even exists, let alone the amount of power that he has,” Wheeler chimes in. “He’s been described as an enforcer, as a fixer, as a gatekeeper. As you mentioned, he’s openly gay. Politico once described him as the Meryl Streep of the Biden family.”
“He allegedly asked members of the Biden staff — male members — or described, questioned, speculated about the size of their genitalia,” she continues.
“This guy is totally out of control,” Ziegler says, adding, “And you know, he’s still being paid by the taxpayer. I confirmed this.”

Project Veritas TRICKS David Hogg; exposes Biden’s hidden puppet master
Project Veritas has dropped yet another undercover video, this time tricking Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg into revealing secrets regarding former President Joe Biden’s mental decline as well as who was really running the show.
“The foundational question for me is, like, how corrupt is the DNC if so many people knew, or few people knew, about Biden?” the undercover journalist asked Hogg.
“I think the fact of the matter is the DNC is always going to be a campaign arm of the president ultimately. The bigger issue was like the inner circle that was around Biden,” Hogg replied, adding, “Like Jill Biden’s chief of staff had an enormous amount of power.”
Former White House employee Deterrian Jones was also duped by the undercover journalist, chiming in that he would “avoid” Anthony Bernal, Jill Biden’s chief of staff, as he was “scary.”
“He’s just a shadowy, Wizard of Oz-type figure,” Jones told the undercover reporter. “I knew how he looked, but the general public wouldn’t know how this man looked. But he wielded an enormous amount of power. And I can’t stress to you how much power he had at the White House.”
“This one was a very interesting one,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says. “It was a male undercover journalist who somehow was able to seduce, or otherwise convince, David Hogg.”
“Maybe we need to start talking to Anthony Bernal,” she continues. “He’s a veteran staffer of both the Obama and Clinton administrations, he was Biden’s deputy campaign manager during the 2024 presidential campaign.”
Gonzales also notes that Bernal was “only one of four aids at the Rehoboth Beach House on July 18, when Biden was coerced to withdraw from the election.”
“So very clearly a part of the inner, inner circle, part of the very, very big decision for Joe Biden to step down and/or at least withdraw his name from the 2024 campaign,” she adds.

David Hogg targets Pelosi, unwittingly deals Democrats more damage ahead of likely DNC ouster
Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg has proven an effective albeit unwitting saboteur on the left. In addition to spilling the beans about who was really running the Biden White House, the 25-year-old gun control activist hammered California Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D) for her alleged insider trading in newly released undercover footage from Project Veritas.
Hogg, warned not to challenge Democratic incumbents earlier this year by DNC Chairman Ken Martin, appears to say in the newly released video, "I would say Pelosi's actually very good at her job. I don't agree with the stock-trading stuff."
"I mean, she gets better returns than almost every hedge fund in this city, every year," continued Hogg. "Some of these members of Congress make trades that are way too well timed to not have insider knowledge."
Pelosi, whose annual salary is now around $174,000, has a net worth of $260.37 million, according to Quiver Quantitative.

"They happen to be some of the best financial analysts in human history," quipped Hogg, who is facing a potential ouster next month after party elites effectively declared his election null and void.
'I just want to burn everything down.'
In his Blaze Originals documentary, "Bought and Paid For: How Politicians Get Filthy Rich," James Poulos, the host of BlazeTV's "Zero Hour" and the editor at large of Blaze Media, highlighted some of the "most egregious transactions" members of Congress have directly or indirectly pulled off in recent years — like making big investments in defense contractors on the eve of the war in Ukraine — without remorse or consequence.
A financial disclosure signed on July 2, 2021, by Nancy Pelosi revealed that her husband bet big on Alphabet, Amazon, and Apple stock ahead of the House Judiciary Committee's vote on antitrust legislation that threatened to limit how those companies organized. According to Bloomberg, Mr. Pelosi's trade secured him a $4.8 million gain.
In September, President Donald Trump demanded that Pelosi be prosecuted for alleged insider trading after her husband dumped 2,000 of his shares in Visa — valued at roughly $500,000 — two months before the company was sued by the Department of Justice for allegedly monopolizing the debit markets. Visa stock dropped by 5% following the announcement of the DOJ's civil antitrust suit.
There are many more such cases of conveniently timed bets and dumps, not just from the Pelosi household but by others in Congress as well.
RELATED: David Hogg spills the beans to undercover reporter about who really controlled the Biden White House
Multiple bills have been introduced in recent years that would ban congressional stock trading, including Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley's Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act — or PELOSI Act for short.
While Hogg apparently shares the concern expressed by Trump and other Republicans, it's not a battle he's willing to fight.
Hogg told the Project Veritas journalist, "The hardest part about my job is I just want to burn everything down because it's all so corrupt. But you got to pick your battles and slowly build your momentum."
The DNC vice chair noted that even if he tried to hold Pelosi accountable, "we wouldn't beat her." He suggested that it was instead preferable to go after members who "are far weaker."

EXCLUSIVE: Why was Pelosi’s ‘fixer’ at Jan. 6?
Blaze News’ Steve Baker has done it again, this time exposing Aaron Black, whom he has dubbed "Pelosi’s precious," for allegedly lying about his role at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
“This will just piss you off,” Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” says in response to Baker’s findings, adding, “It pissed me off for a couple of reasons. One, it is so evil.”
The second reason, Glenn says, is that “this guy never came up on our radar as connected to anything,” but Baker has discovered just how connected he really is.
“I started looking at him. The more I did, the more interesting he got. The more research I did, the more people I had to bring in, too, because this guy’s dark, and we had to go and actually scrape the dark, dark web for him,” Baker explains.
“There were some Project Veritas videos out there from 2016, where he was caught in one of their stings actually admitting to the fact that he and his guys were responsible for the violence at a Donald Trump rally in 2016,” he continues, noting that he was also an agitator at Occupy Wall Street. “So this is what this guy has been an expert at, creating these types of situations throughout his entire career.”
“Then all of a sudden, he re-emerges as quote-unquote ‘senior political adviser’ at Team Pelosi,” he says, noting that there’s even an image of Pelosi cradling Black’s face in her hands.
“What we believe, through our contacts, our sources, whistleblowers, both named and unnamed, is that he did in fact organize, and this is what we’ve been told, is that he had paid agitators, I didn’t say violent, people paid agitators, because his expertise is controlling the narrative,” Baker continues.
“And what did Nancy Pelosi most famously say when she set up the committee? She said that this was to ‘establish and preserve the narrative’ of that day,” he says, adding, “That’s an exact quote.”
