Senator Jim Banks Criticizes Neville Roy Singham’s Alleged Influence

Sen. Jim Banks of Indiana addressed the Senate on Wednesday, drawing attention to Neville Roy Singham. Banks accused the tech billionaire, who lives in Shanghai, of using a vast nonprofit network to assist China’s “political warfare” against the United States. A Fox News Digital report found that since 2017, Singham has funneled $278 million into nonprofits involved in anti-ICE, anti-Israel, and pro-Iran protests.

Banks described Singham’s Shanghai office as a hub shared with a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda outlet, aimed at promoting China’s narrative. According to Banks, Singham has been financially supporting left-wing organizations that allegedly serve the CCP’s interests.

“Code Pink, that radical organization that chases me and other senators throughout the halls of Congress, used to, on occasion, condemn CCP human rights abuses,” he added. “After Singham started lavishly funding the group—and married its co-founder—Code Pink stopped criticizing the Chinese government and started defending it.”

Code Pink, co-founded by Singham’s spouse Jodie Evans, frequently challenges lawmakers in Washington, D.C. They advocate the perspective that “China is Not Our Enemy.” Both Evans and Singham declined to comment to Fox News Digital.

Footage obtained by Fox News Digital showed Sen. Rick Scott from Florida being confronted by Code Pink regarding the Iran conflict. Scott questioned the group’s stance on the October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel but received no response.

Banks’ speech also echoed Sen. Marco Rubio’s concerns over far-left political extremism. Rubio emphasized the need for international cooperation to combat the financing of groups that partner with adversarial foreign governments. He claimed that counterterrorism efforts have overlooked extremist violence originating from the political left.

Singham currently faces a grand jury investigation in New York, sanctioned by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. This probe examines Singham’s finances and potential financial crimes related to his pro-CCP nonprofit network. Singham has yet to be charged.

In New York, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met with Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, requesting cooperation with the Justice Department’s investigation into Singham’s network. Sources indicated that Goldman Sachs expressed willingness to assist. A spokesperson confirmed that donations from Singham’s fund went to IRS-recognized nonprofits, with no distributions since August 2023, and the fund closed in early 2024.
