A U.S. State Department foreign service officer has been fired after being caught on hidden camera admitting to a secret romantic relationship with the daughter of a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) affiliate\u2014a connection he failed to disclose to U.S. security officials, according to statements released Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The officer, identified as Daniel Choi, was terminated following an internal review ordered by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and approved by President Donald Trump, the department confirmed.<\/p>\n
The decision came after footage surfaced from an O\u2019Keefe Media Group (OMG) undercover investigation in which Choi acknowledged that his girlfriend\u2019s father was \u201cstraight-up Communist Party\u201d and that she \u201ccould have been a spy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI defied my government for love,\u201d Choi said in the secretly recorded video published by OMG, in which he discussed knowingly concealing the relationship from State Department officials despite being required to report any close personal contact with foreign nationals.<\/p>\n
A State Department spokesperson\u00a0told reporters that, to their knowledge, this is the first time an officer has been terminated under the authority granted by Executive Order 14211, which President Trump signed earlier this year to strengthen accountability within the diplomatic corps.<\/p>\n
The order states that \u201call officers or employees charged with implementing the foreign policy of the United States must, under Article II, do so under the direction and authority of the President,\u201d adding that \u201cfailure to faithfully implement the President\u2019s policy is grounds for professional discipline, including separation.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a statement announcing the dismissal, the department said:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Foreign Service Officer admitted to concealing a romantic relationship with a Chinese national, whom he said on camera \u2018could have been a spy.\u2019 He also said that her father was \u2018straight-up Communist Party.\u2019 The officer was required to report this contact to Department security officials, but said, \u2018I defied my government for love.\u2019 Accordingly, the Secretary recommended that the officer be separated for failing to faithfully implement the President\u2019s foreign policy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Choi\u2019s case underscores growing concerns within the U.S. government over Chinese intelligence-gathering through personal and professional relationships with American officials. For years, counterintelligence experts have warned that Beijing uses romantic entanglements, financial incentives, and academic ties to collect sensitive information from U.S. personnel.<\/p>\n
\u201cRomantic and social connections remain one of the most exploited vectors in Chinese espionage,\u201d said a former senior intelligence official familiar with State Department security procedures. \u201cAn unreported relationship like this represents a massive vulnerability, no matter how innocent it may appear.\u201d<\/p>\n
While the State Department declined to detail the internal investigation, officials confirmed that Choi\u2019s failure to report the relationship violated long-standing security protocols designed to protect against coercion or compromise by foreign entities.<\/p>\n
Foreign service officers are required to immediately disclose any \u201cclose and continuing contact\u201d with foreign nationals who may have ties to hostile governments.<\/p>\n
Choi reportedly told the undercover journalist that his girlfriend\u2019s father was either a provincial or federal education minister within the CCP structure, adding, \u201cShe could have been a spy \u2014 I don\u2019t even know.\u201d<\/p>\n
After the video\u2019s release, Secretary Rubio moved quickly to recommend termination, citing national security concerns and the need to enforce accountability across diplomatic ranks.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a clear case of misconduct and potential compromise,\u201d a State Department official said on background. \u201cEvery officer takes an oath to serve the United States and to uphold our security standards. No one is above that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rubio has taken a hard line on countering Chinese influence within U.S. institutions since becoming Secretary of State, tightening vetting procedures for foreign contacts and expanding background checks for personnel stationed in East Asia and Washington-based policy roles.<\/p>\n
Rumors have begun to swirl that Rubio could be on the 2028 presidential ticket with Vice President JD Vance.<\/p>\n
Ian Andre Roberts, the superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools, isn\u2019t just accused of breaking immigration law\u2014he\u2019s also been a registered Democrat voter in Maryland for over a decade, despite overstaying a student visa from 1999.<\/p>\n
Roberts was arrested by ICE late last week, and the revelations about his active Democratic voter registration since 2012 add yet another layer to the scandal.<\/p>\n
The saga of Ian Andre Roberts was troubling enough from the start. He entered the U.S. on a student visa in 1999, ignored a final removal order from an immigration judge in 2024, and somehow gamed the system long enough to land a $270,000-a-year job as superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools. When ICE finally moved in, Roberts fled. Agents later discovered cash, a knife, and a loaded gun in his vehicle.<\/p>\n
That alone is a damning indictment of our broken immigration system: an illegal alien profiting off the loopholes, thumbing his nose at the law, and occupying a powerful position in American education.<\/p>\n
But the story doesn\u2019t end there.<\/p>\n
According to records uncovered by Townhall columnist Dustin Grage, Roberts has been registered to vote as a Democrat in Maryland since 2012. That\u2019s right\u2014a man who should have been deported years ago has enjoyed active voter registration status for more than a decade.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the perfect snapshot of everything seedy about the current state of affairs: lax enforcement, political corruption, and a system that rewards lawbreakers while undermining trust in both immigration and elections. Democrats tell us voter fraud is a \u201cmyth.\u201d Yet here we have an illegal immigrant, a school superintendent no less, sitting comfortably on the voter rolls as a proud Democrat.<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t just a personal scandal\u2014it\u2019s a flashing red warning sign about a system that\u2019s collapsing under its own hypocrisy. And of course, this highlights why Democrats have picked the \u201cillegal immigrant\u201d hill to die on: They\u00a0<\/p>\n
And this outrage also helps explain why Democrats refuse to cooperate with federal officials,\u00a0<\/p>\n
That\u2019s exactly why Democrats have fought tooth and nail against the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility), a commonsense bill from Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) that simply ensures only American citizens can vote in federal elections. The House passed it back in April 2025, but it\u2019s now stalled in the Senate\u2014thanks to Democrats who seem more interested in trading secure elections for power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
