Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer continues to dodge questions from Fox News on Monday after being photographed last month with alleged Chinese Spy Lu Jianwang at a gala; who is now facing federal charges for allegedly running a secret Chinese police station in New York City.

The New York Democrat was asked twice about the matter outside the Roosevelt House at Hunter College in Manhattan – where Schumer was the honorary speaker at an Equal Rights Amendment event this morning – but he chose not to respond, as Schumer appeared to be on his phone.
“Hi, Senator; what can you tell us about attending a gala last month and taking photos with a suspected CCP agent?” Schumer was asked as he walked outside the building.
“How well do you know the man accused of running the secret police station in New York City?” Fox News’s Jennifer Johnson also asked the senator before he got into a vehicle.
While Schumer did not respond, a spokesperson later spoke with Fox News, stating:
“Senator Schumer attends countless events in every corner of New York, including with the Asian American community. He was attending the annual Fukienese Association dinner, as he has in years before, and took photos with those present. He had never met this man before and did not know who he was.”
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York, Lu was arrested last week and charged with conspiracy to act as an agent of China’s government.

The event was a fundraiser for the Fukien American Association, a cultural nonprofit linked to the province.
When announcing Lu’s arrest last week, U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said China’s Ministry of Public Security (MPS) “has repeatedly and flagrantly violated our nation’s sovereignty, including opening and operating a police station in the middle of New York City.”
“Two miles from our office, just across the Brooklyn Bridge, this nondescript office building in the heart of bustling Chinatown in Lower Manhattan has a dark secret. Until several months ago, an entire floor of this building hosted an undeclared police station of the Chinese National Police,” Peace said. “Now, just imagine the NYPD opening an undeclared secret police station in Beijing. It would be unthinkable.”
Schumer is not the only New York politician meeting with CCP agents. In a video recorded on March 18, Lu Jianwang is shown standing alongside New York City Mayor Eric Adams at an event where Schumer also spoke.

In a statement, Adams’ office told Fox News that the mayor’s attendance at the event was to show support for a local community and did not signal any endorsement.
Adams stated that he does not know Lu Jianwang.
