Chairman John Moolenaar, along with Senators Marco Rubio and Joni Ernst, have presented evidence implicating McKinsey & Company in consulting activities for the Chinese military and government. This information suggests that McKinsey misrepresented its involvement under oath while receiving substantial U.S. defense contracts.
The lawmakers provided a detailed account of McKinsey's engagements, revealing how the firm supported China's military ambitions and five-year plans aimed at surpassing the United States. These activities allegedly occurred without proper disclosure to U.S. authorities as required by law.
The details were shared with Attorney General Merrick Garland and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, urging them to assess McKinsey's compliance with legal requirements and reconsider its eligibility for Department of Defense contracts.
In sworn testimony before Congress, McKinsey’s Global Managing Partner claimed ignorance of any work with the Chinese Communist Party or central government. However, documentary evidence contradicts this statement, highlighting extensive interactions with Chinese state-owned enterprises and government bodies.
The lawmakers demanded a briefing from Garland and Austin by December 1 regarding potential legal violations by McKinsey and its status as a DoD contractor.
McKinsey has been involved in various sensitive U.S. defense projects while simultaneously working on China's strategic plans, raising concerns about national security risks due to potential conflicts of interest.
