"This committee has worked tirelessly to unravel, to unravel, the Singam CCP network," Smith added.
Last April, Smith sent a letter with GOP committee members to then-IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel requesting information about "specific tax-exempt organizations that promote CCP propaganda and related initiatives," including the People’s Forum.
The People’s Forum has been one of the loudest voices encouraging and facilitating agitators to take to the streets for anti-ICE demonstrations, and Fox News Digital also learned that Smith also sent letters to BreakThrough BT Media Inc., and Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research ahead of Tuesday’s hearing requesting information surrounding alleged ties to Singham.

"From there, the money is granted to Singham’s own nonprofits that act as a pass through, such as the Justice and Education Fund and the People Support Foundation, which subsequently distribute the funds to other groups in the Singham Network, like the media outlet Breakthrough News or the People's Forum, which organizes protests that have turned violent," LaHood added.
The New York Times reported that some of the organizations in Singham’s network had office addresses in suspicious locations like general UPS mailboxes, and that tracing the Shanghai resident’s cash flow from China to U.S. protests is challenging given his extensive efforts to minimize or cover up financial footprints.
"Singham attended Chinese Communist Party propaganda trainings, shared offices with Chinese state media in Shanghai, and exploited U.S. tax law to move tens of millions of dollars through donor-advised funds, primarily via Goldman Sachs," Adam Sohn Network Contagion Research Institute Co-Founder and committee witness explained during the hearing.

"Together, these entities form a coordinated $100 million system," Sohn added.
Fox News Digital reached out to The People's Forum, BreakThrough BT Media Inc., Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, and Singham, but did not receive responses.
