US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has said she is '100 per cent' certain that Elaine Chao, the wife of veteran Senator Mitch McConnell, is a 'possible Communist Chinese spy', after his sudden hospitalisation in Washington, D.C., last month. The Georgia Republican made the allegation in a recent interview, directly affirming her belief when pressed.
Speaking in an interview broadcast on Tuesday, the Georgia congresswoman criticised her party colleagues for their silence over the condition of the 84-year-old politician, who was found unconscious at his home on 14 June. Greene claimed that Chao left her husband's bedside during the medical emergency to travel to China, an action she said raised serious national security questions.
