From the Washington Free Beacon: Rep. Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.) slammed Obama-appointed attorney general Loretta Lynch for “selling out” to the Chinese Communist Party by representing a U.S.-designated Chinese military firm in its lawsuit against the Pentagon.

Shenzhen DJI Technology Company (DJI), a Chinese drone manufacturer, is suing the Pentagon over its 2022 decision to add DJI to its blacklist of “Military Companies Operating in the United States,” which are considered potential national security threats. In its lawsuit, DJI—which is one of the largest producers of drones in the world—alleged that the Chinese military label has negatively impacted its business and “violates the law and DJI’s due-process rights.”

Stefanik said that Lynch “has turned her back on her nation, selling out to our greatest adversary Communist China and suing the United States on behalf of CCP-owned drone company DJI.”

“Not only is her lawsuit full of factual errors, it is also an obvious effort by DJI to distract from CBP’s recent halting of DJI imports due to Uyghur slave labor concerns and a futile attempt to disrupt the momentum behind my unanimously passed Countering CCP Drones Act,” the New York representative told National Review.

“DJI’s time in the United States is rightfully coming to an end and Loretta Lynch’s sham lawsuit is not going to save them,” Stefanik declared in her statement.

A report by the Daily Caller also called out Loretta Lynch for providing legal services to a company who has ties to the Chinese military. The Daily Caller further explained:

Loretta Lynch, who served as former President Barack Obama’s attorney general from 2015 to 2017, is one of five attorneys from the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison listed as representing Chinese drone manufacturer DJI in a lawsuit filed October 18 challenging the Pentagon’s designation of the drone company as a “Chinese military company,” court documents show.

The DOD added DJI to its Section 1260H entity list of “Chinese military companies” in 2022, meaning that it determined the drone manufacturer is “directly or indirectly owned, controlled or beneficially owned by” the Chinese armed forces or otherwise complicit in supporting the Chinese military-industrial complex.
