Aide to Democratic Congressman Don Beyer Fired After Allegedly Working with Chinese Embassy
Beyer's office said he was unaware of the aide's behavior
By Landon Mion | Fox News
An aide to Virginia Democratic Rep. Don Beyer has been fired after an investigation concluded she had been working on behalf of the Chinese Embassy to set up meetings with congressional offices.
The probe conducted by the House Sergeant at Arms discovered the allegations against Barbara Hamlett. Beyer's office was notified of the findings on Tuesday, and she was subsequently terminated.
"Congressman Beyer was totally unaware of these activities prior to being contacted by the House Sergeant At Arms," Beyer’s deputy chief of staff Aaron Fritschner told National Review.
"As soon as he learned of them, he followed every directive he was given by security officials. The staffer in question is no longer employed by the office of Congressman Beyer," Fritschner continued.

She.
Still can't believe a Democrat fired her. Can we dream of espionage charges being filed in the near future?
