EXCLUSIVE — An annual football game featuring lawmakers and ex-NFL players was co-sponsored this year by an affiliate of a Chinese electric carmaker, while the organizing charity has been led by a recent lobbyist for a sanctioned Chinese military-backed company.
Meanwhile, spokeswoman Sara Robertson for Rep. Rick Crawford , a co-captain for the combined congressional and ex-NFL team against current and former Capitol Police officers, said Congressional Football Game for Charity, Inc., should"strongly consider returning those funds to the sender as the values and beliefs of the Chinese Communist Party are counter to everything America stands for." The Capitol Police did not return a request for comment.
BYD has also received the equivalent of over $1 billion in subsidies and grants from China's government since 2007 while seeking to"implement CCP international strategy, and directly connect to Beijing’s military apparatus," Emily de La Bruyere, a China expert and now-senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank, said in 2020 congressional testimony. Lawmakers in 2019 approved U.S.
"Go to print with your sad deluded conspiracy theory," Manley, ex-chief of staff for former Rep. Rodney Davis , who has also participated in the football game over the years, said. Meanwhile, tax forms filed in 2022 by Congressional Football Game for Charity, Inc., list its principal officer and president as Glenn LeMunyon, who lobbied for Huawei through his firm LeMunyon Group between 2021 and 2022, according to financial disclosures filed with Congress. LeMunyon's firm also registered in 2023 to lobby for Futurewei, filing a termination report that was posted on the Senate's website on Wednesday.
LeMunyon Group is listed on the football game's charity website as providing"additional support" for the event. Manley said the firm"doesn't sponsor anything."
