The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on Wednesday advanced the nomination of Christopher Fonzone to serve as general counsel of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). Fonzone, who previously worked in the Obama administration, has admitted to conducting legal work on behalf of Chinese tech giant Huawei.
Fonzone is a partner at Sidley Austin LLP, a law firm that Huawei first hired for lobbying in 2019. As of April 2021, the Chinese tech company still retains a working relationship with Sidley Austin, according to the Washington Free Beacon. During his confirmation hearing, Fonzone attempted to defend his record, arguing that his previous work would not hamper his ability to operate objectively while working for the ODNI.
