Frank Gaffney, founder and president of the Center for Security Policy, a U.S. think tank, called on President Trump to designate the Chinese Communist Party as a “transnational criminal organization” before transferring power.

On January 18, he issued a statement through the Center for Security Policy’s radio station and media relations agency titled “It’s Time to Designate the Chinese Communist Party as a Transnational Criminal Organization. Gaffney is also the former acting assistant secretary of defense and current vice chairman of the Committee to Address the Current Danger to the Chinese Communist Party (CPDC).

In the statement, Gaffney said, “The U.S. Department of State has just identified a Chinese laboratory that may be the source of the Covid-19 (Chinese Communist virus), linked to the Beijing regime’s illegal biological weapons program. The virus has caused the deaths of nearly 400,000 Americans.”

“Unfortunately, this is just the latest evidence that the Chinese Communist Party is a transnational criminal organization.”

In a recent media interview, Secretary of State Michael Pompeo said that all evidence now points to the origin of the coronavirus (a Chinese Communist virus) outbreak in China. on January 15, the State Department released a fact check on what the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) did. It focused on three actions of the institute related to the origin of the virus that require further review and warrant further investigation.

Gaffney also said in the statement, “Evidence of other CCP crimes abounds, including: murderous fentanyl smuggling; economic warfare within the United States, including the theft of valuable intellectual property and data; involvement in the enslavement of ethnic populations (‘One Belt, One Road’ to achieve this) and the Chinese population, and countless other crimes against humanity crimes; and massive interference in the U.S. elections in 2020.”

Gaffney suggested that Trump designate the Communist Party of China as a transnational criminal organization. He said, “Trump should indelibly mark the worst of all transnational criminal organizations, the Communist Party of China, before he leaves office.”

On October 1, 2020, U.S. Congressman Scott Perry (R-CA), in conjunction with Congressman Tim Burchett (R-UT) and Congressman Scott DesJarlais (D-CA), sponsored a bill to designate the CCP as a “transnational criminal organization” and to require its prosecution and sanctions.
