Asra Nomani @AsraNomani - EXCLUSIVE @FoxNews Digital: Where does malign foreign influence meet the halls of power?
1/ It may start with your local neighborhood data center.
That's where Sen. Tom Cotton, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans and Marxist donor Neville Roy Singham find themselves in the same story.
Today, we're reporting exclusively that @SenTomCotton has asked Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche and @TheJusticeDept to investigate whether a network of nonprofits led by far-left activist Jodie Evans, funded by Marxist tech mogul Neville Roy Singham and linked to the Chinese Communist Party is coordinating to protest data centers and shape American public opinion and policy AGAINST data centers and the infrastructure powering the U.S. AI race.
Why does this matter?
 Because artificial intelligence isn't just about ChatGPT. 
 It's about economic power, military capability and national security. It will define which nation wins the technological race of the 21st century.
 Every new data center, semiconductor plant and computing cluster represents a strategic asset in the competition between Washington and Beijing.
And now a growing number of lawmakers, policy experts, investigators and investors like @KevinOlearyTV are asking an important question: are protests against AI infrastructure foreign-aligned influence networks trying to sabotage the U.S. in the AI war?
For nearly a decade, organizations funded by Singham have organized campaigns against U.S. military actions, capitalism, Israel, ICE and "AmeriKKKan imperialism."
Now the same network has found a new target:
 Data centers
 AI companies
 Semiconductor policy
 The energy infrastructure powering the U.S. AI boom
The House of Singham includes:
 ANSWER Coalition
 BreakThrough News
 CodePink
 Party for Socialism and Liberation
 People's Forum
 Tricontinental
A new report we wrote about last week from the @BitcoinPolicy Institute argues there is a growing nexus between:
 the House of Singham
 Chinese state propaganda channels
 Chinese Communist Party interests
Meanwhile, China is rapidly expanding and subsidizing its own AI infrastructure.
Cotton's argument is blunt. He told Fox News Digital:
 "Recent reports show that Communist China is attempting to influence our policy and public opinion on data centers. The reason is obvious: they want to kneecap our processing power to win the AI race."
 "Americans should decide their own future free of communist propaganda. I'm encouraging the Department of Justice to investigate."
The question now before the Justice Department:
 Are these activists exercising protected political speech? 
 Or are these organizations violating federal law, representing foreign interests without complying with the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which requires they register as "foreign agents"?
