Bill & Hillary’s ‘Chinagate’ Haunts Again

Click here: Chinese-American Johnny Chung, an Illegal fundraiser for the Clintons and the DNC, made a secret tape because he feared he would be murdered over what he knew.  Chung was one of the main players in the ‘Chinagate’ scandal and was accused of giving over $300,000 to the Democratic National Committee on behalf of the head of China’s military intelligence agency during Bill Clinton’s reelection.

Bill and Hillary Clinton knew Chung well. He visited the White House 57 times in a two-year span including eight meetings that were ‘off the books.’ Chung personally handed a $50,000 check to Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff Maggie Williams and even helped arrange for Bill Clinton to meet with the generous donor – a top Chinese military official.
