A recent congressional hearing titled “Trojan Horses: Covert Foreign Malign Influence Operations in America” has ignited a probe into how adversarial nations like China, Iran, and Cuba are allegedly leveraging American activists, nonprofit organizations, and social media influencers to advance their agendas within the United States. The investigation, spurred by events like a protest by CODEPINK activist Olivia DiNucci during a national security panel, aims to expose how groups such as CODEPINK and individuals like Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, who has joined CODEPINK delegations to Cuba and drawn Treasury Department scrutiny, act as proxies to promote foreign propaganda and undermine U.S. interests. This congressional focus is informed by extensive reporting detailing a vast transnational network, estimated at approximately 2,000 organizations, with significant financial ties to American-born tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham, who resides in Shanghai and has publicly supported the Chinese Communist Party. Fox News Digital investigations have traced hundreds of millions of dollars flowing from Singham through core nonprofits like BreakThrough BT Media Inc. and CODEPINK into a complex web of organizations, allegedly used to disseminate anti-American narratives and promote foreign ideologies. Lawmakers, including House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Mich., are determined to “raise the curtain to expose these operations and stop them from undermining our national security, capitalism and the American Dream,” by examining how foreign powers influence American discourse while maintaining distance, a tactic described by experts as employing “Trojan horses” to “disrupt and destroy from within” by fostering division and eroding faith in American ideals.
