Campaign Finance Investigation - House Oversight Committee - 1999-05-11 - 123202-1-DVD - House Committee Government Reform and Oversight. In the aftermath of allegations that nuclear secrets had been leaked to China and the accidental bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia, Mr. Chung testified about campaign fundraising abuses during the 1996 presidential campaign. He said that he and his family had been threatened by people with ties to Chinese intelligence after pleading guilty to fundraising violations. He denied, however, that he had ever acted as an agent for the Chinese government. In his testimony he accepted responsibility for his misdeeds, but said that the lawmakers were also accountable for setting up the fundraising rules under which he operated.  Filmed by C-SPAN.
