Remember Elaine Chao?
Elaine Lan Chao is a Taiwanese-American businesswoman and former government official who served as United States secretary of labor in the administration of George W. Bush from 2001 to 2009 and as United States secretary of transportation in the first administration of Donald Trump from 2017 to 2021. A member of the Republican Party, Chao was the first Asian-American woman to serve in a presidential cabinet. She resigned as transportation secretary after the January 6 United States Capitol attack. Wikipedia
Who at the @StateDept is going to tell us where Elaine Chao is & whether or not she has violated the Logan Act?

This is a national security issue and we deserve immediate answers today!
We also need proof of life of Senator McConnell! @McConnellPress @SecRubio @LeaderJohnThune https://t.co/793IWZ59w5
Kylie Jane Kremer tells us,
I think this whole situation surrounding Mitch McConnell just became far more serious.
What authority was Elaine Chao acting under when she met with a senior CCP while her husband, a sitting U.S. senator, was hospitalized following a reported medical emergency?
Elaine Chao hasn’t held a U.S. government position since January 7, 2021, when she resigned as Secretary of Transportation.
The Logan Act prohibits unauthorized private citizens from conducting correspondence or negotiations with foreign governments regarding disputes or matters involving the United States.
If Elaine Chao was representing the United States with authorization from the U.S. government, the State Department should say so.
If she was acting solely as a private citizen while discussing U.S.-China relations with senior Chinese officials, it raises legitimate questions about whether the Logan Act could apply.
The State Department should immediately explain whether this meeting was officially sanctioned, what capacity Elaine Chao was serving in, and whether she had authorization to engage in those discussions.
President Trump has previously criticized Elaine Chao over her family’s business ties to China. Regardless of politics, the American people deserve transparency about the purpose of this meeting.
These questions are even more important because there are still serious unanswered questions about Senator McConnell’s condition. We still do not know the status of a sitting U.S. senator while his wife was meeting with the CCP.
Finally, has anyone confirmed whether Elaine Chao has returned to the United States? If so, when? If not, where is she now?
This is a national security issue. The American people deserve answers.
If Mitch McConnell dies before August 3, Kentucky law would trigger a special election for his Senate seat.
The RINOs in power can’t afford for that to happen, which is why this whole situation feels like Weekend at Bernie’s.
Weeks have gone by with virtually no meaningful update on the condition of a sitting U.S. Senator. The lack of transparency has been outrageous and has left people wondering whether he’s being kept alive on life support or whether the full truth simply isn’t being told… has he already passed???
Then there’s Elaine Chao, McConnell’s wife, traveling to China to meet with a CCP leader just days after McConnell was hospitalized. Maybe there’s an explanation, but the timing is undeniably odd. Would you leave your husband to travel to China if he is so ill he’s in the hospital for over 20 days? I sure wouldn’t.
Something about this entire situation doesn’t add up, and the American people deserve answers.
@McConnellPress WE NEED PROOF OF LIFE!
