He's a bit sold out to Chinese money. He has great conflict of interest. I think if a Senator decides to become fabulously wealthy through their overseas business, then its time to leave U.S. politics. There are a few Senators out there who are money baggers, whilst they are wanting common Americans to tighten their belts and shut up.

It's time for Mitch's constituency to retire the old turtle out & replace him with a constitutionally based Representative of & for the people. Senator Graham needs to be retired out also, along with about 27 other RINOS. Getting the RINOS out of both the upper & lower chambers of the House would be my fellow Americans best move in starting to take YOUR country back from the elitists.

Doesnt matter, when Mitch accepted millions of dollars as a gift from Chau's father, that was a conflict of interest
IMO. All of our politicians need to knock this off. He should have refused the money as a sitting senator, or decided not to run again.

How McConnell and Chao used political power to make their family rich

Peter Schweizer, who delved into the Clinton Foundation’s dealings in 2016’s “Clinton Cash,” has turned his sights to the money-making machinations of DC’s political e…

"While politicians and their spouses are often subject to rigid regulations on what gifts they can accept and what sort of business they can conduct, others around them — like their friends or children have no such obstacles. So while a politician could theoretically wind up in prison for accepting $10,000 for doling out favors, establishing overseas connections that could land your children multi-million-dollar deals is harder to detect, and often legal.

“Foreign governments and oligarchs like this form of corruption because it gives them private and unfettered gateways to the corridors of Washington power,” Schweizer writes. “Foreign entities cannot legally make campaign contributions, so using this approach creates an alternative way to curry favor and influence America’s political leaders. Simply camouflaging these transactions as business agreements provides another shield of plausible deniability.”

As Schweizer tells it, the Chao family fortune derives from the Foremost Group, a shipping company that Chinese native James Chao, a classmate of former Chinese president Jiang Zemin at Jiao Tong University, founded in New York in 1964. Chao remains Foremost’s chairman today, and his daughters Angela and Christine are the company’s deputy chairwoman and general counsel, respectively. Elaine Chao worked there in the 1970s, and has been quoted as saying, “Shipping is our family tradition.”

The success of Foremost is largely due to its close ties to the Chinese government, in particular the China State Shipbuilding Corp. (CSSC), a corporation with which Foremost has done “large volumes of business.”

"While Foremost is an American company, “their ships have been constructed by Chinese government shipyards, and some of their construction financed by the Chinese government.” In addition, writes Schweizer, “their crews are largely Chinese,” despite US Transportation Secretary and company founder’s daughter Elaine Chao having once said that “ships crewed by Americans are ‘a vital part of our national security.’”

Given all this, it’s worth noting how both McConnell and Chao, in their roles as high-ranking US officials, have personally interacted with, and then gone considerably soft on, China since their 1993 wedding."

So where is the illegal or unethical conduct? Your article conveniently leaves that part out, which means your article is a hit job by a liberal who hates capitalism. After all, it is the NY Post.

Chau's father gave McConnell over 5 million as a 'gift' .... and her father's company has business connections with communist China... so there is that. Its a conflict of interest.
"gifts" are a way many politicians enrich themselves with overseas money and it never comes directly, its always through a second or third party. Somewhere down the line they will pay it back using their political power.

He is his son-in-law! There is no conflict simply because of the familial relationship.

How does that change the fact that Elaine Chao is owned by China Over-Seas Shipping Company - a Communist Chinese company. Mitch is compromised, property of Xi Jinping - Just like Quid Pro Joe.

Elaine Chao’s Family Business Caught Funneling Taxpayer Cash
