Hollywood mogul with deep China ties, wife drop over $1.7M into coffers supporting Biden's reelection bid

FIRST ON FOX: A former Disney CEO and his wife recently donated more than $1.7 million to a joint fundraising committee authorized by President Biden's campaign, despite their deep ties to China.
Biden’s campaign announced on April 25 that former Disney and DreamWorks Animation chief Jeffrey Katzenberg would serve as one of its national co-chairs.
Two days later, on April 27, the Biden Victory Fund, the campaign’s joint fundraising vehicle, received a donation totaling $889,600 from Katzenberg’s wife, Marilyn, according to Federal Election Commission records.
A day later, on April 28, the Biden Victory Fund received a $889,600 donation from Katzenberg himself. Katzenberg and his wife are also maxed-out donors to Biden's presidential campaign, donating $6,600 each in late April.
Katzenberg has deep and longstanding ties to China's communist government, Fox News Digital previously reported, potentially presenting a problem for the president over the country’s human rights abuses and as analysts continue to warn of the threat that China poses to U.S. national security.
According to Katzenberg, he visited China every month for years while running DreamWorks Animation.
