Marjorie Taylor Greene has publicly made accusations against Elaine Chao, the former U.S. Secretary of Transportation and wife of Mitch McConnell, alleging that Chao is a "Communist spy."

There is no public evidence supporting Greene's allegation, and she has not presented proof that Chao is acting as a spy for the Chinese government.

Greene also criticized Chao's travel and meetings related to China, claiming she prioritized those engagements over her husband's health. Chao has long faced scrutiny from some critics over her family's business ties to China, but no U.S. authority has publicly accused her of espionage or charged her with acting on behalf of the Chinese government.

Who is Elaine Chao?

Elaine Chao served as:

• U.S. Secretary of Transportation from 2017 to 2021.

• U.S. Secretary of Labor from 2001 to 2009.

She has been a prominent figure in Republican administrations for decades.

Bottom line

Marjorie Taylor Greene has publicly accused Elaine Chao of being a Chinese spy, but the claim remains unsubstantiated. No evidence has been made public to support the allegation, and no government agency has publicly identified Chao as a spy or filed related criminal charges.
