PRESIDENT'S PAL PLEADS FIFTH IN CHINAGATE HEARING

Is Mark Middleton A Chinese Agent?

By Marvin Lee

Former White House aide Mark Middleton last week pled the Fifth
Amendment right against self-incrimination when asked by Chairman
Dan Burton of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee
to explain his dealings with agents of Communist China.

Burton asked Middleton about a statement attributed to Liu Chao-
Ying, an agent of the Chinese intelligence, that Mark Middleton
got a half-million dollars through a group in Singapore to "do
good things for China."

"We've received testimony that you were doing something
clandestine with agents of the Chinese military -- the daughter
of the PLA's most senior general. It was very cryptic. But since
you haven't spoken to us, it's all we have to go on," Burton
said.

What is known is that Middleton was instrumental in buying the
silence of Whitewater witness Webster Hubbell with money from
China. James Riady and John Huang met repeatedly with Middleton
in the White House before wiring $100,000 from a Hong Kong bank
partly owned by Chinese intelligence to Webster Hubbell.

And when Chinese Triad Mobster Ng Lap-seng entered the U.S. with
a suitcase containing $175,000 in cash, he went to see Mark
Middleton at the White House. Ng Lap-seng is a friend of Clinton
crony Charlie Trie and has been suspected of carrying cash
between the Chinese government and the White House. The White
House has never accounted for the source of or the spending of
these suitcases full of cash, and neither Ng Lap-seng nor
Middleton are willing to talk.
