Illegal Clinton fundraiser made tape fearing for his life

A Chinese-American businessman named Johnny Chung who was central to the Clinton campaign finance scandal secretly filmed a detailed video testimony while hiding in 2000 because he feared for his life.

A video footage exclusively provided to DailyMail.com detailed how Chung illegally funnelled money from Chinese officials to Bill Clinton’s 2nd term 1996 re-election bid which he won.

Chung described on the tape how Democrats on the House Committee on Government Reform tried to dissuade him from testifying publicly before the committee by sending his attorney a letter telling him he could plead the Fifth Amendment. According to DailyMail, Chung said his attorney thought the letter was ‘ludicrous’ and a veiled threat from Washington Democrats that they wanted Chung to stay quiet.

He said he feared his knowledge of the Clinton campaign finance scandal and the Chinese influence operation could make him a target for assassination.

The FBI in Los Angeles began providing around-the-clock protection for him. But just a few days before Chung was scheduled to testify before a grand jury, the FBI headquarters in Washington called off the protection detail and told Chung he would have to make the trip alone.

In the secret videotaped statement, Chung claimed the Department of Justice dismissed his safety concerns – with one U.S. attorney telling him to ‘call 911’ if he felt threatened. Read more


The Clinton’s need no introduction, Bill Clinton was the 42nd US president from 1993 to 2001, he was a well loved and popular president who survived a big sex scandal involving a white house intern named Monica Lewinsky.

His wife, Hillary Clinton also needs no introduction as she rode on her handling of that same sex scandal to become the first female senator from New York in 2000, she was reelected in 2006 and went on in 2008 to run for presidency against Barack Obama but lost. She was however compensated with the Secretary of state position in 2009 which she held till 2013 and resigned in the wake of the Benghazi scandal that consumed Susan Rices chances of succeeding her in that capacity.

In all these, what many may not have heard of is a conspiracy theory referred to as  “The Clintons kill list” or the “The Clinton body count”, note that this has been debunked by various debunking sources like Snopes.com and being investigated by trueorfalseonline.com, this did not however give succour to Johnny Chung who took no chances and protected himself with a dead man’s switch.

Chung decision was said to have been out of fear for his safety was on the backdrop of three attempts at his life and his knowledge of what happened to people such as Ron Brown, who as Secretary of Commerce, was deeply involved in arranging – and selling seats on – Clinton administration trade missions to China using his position as the point person for Clinton’s trade policy with China, became a subject of investigations and was killed in a plane crash in Croatia in 1996, the same time period that Chung investigations began.

It also begins to sound even more bizarre that the alleged secret source of the money Chung ferried mid 1990s;  a prominent Chinese millionaire Ng Lap Seng was arrested in New York in September 2015 on charges he brought in more than $4.5 million in cash into the United States over the two years period preceding his arrest. This again coincided with the thick of campaigns for the 2016 US election in which Hillary Clinton ran against President Donald Trump although there was no link found between the Clinton campaign and Ng Lap Seng nor the DNC.

There is always a story behind any news. Behind this particular news aside the background laid above is the launch of a new book titled “Game of Thorns: The Inside Story of Hillary Clinton’s Failed Campaign and Donald Trump’s Winning Strategy”
