Fox News is reporting that
the FBI is reopening its investigation of the University of Management and
Technology (UMT).
The FBI is “reopening” its probe of a
taxpayer-funded online school for military service members after a six-month
Fox News investigation exposed its alleged Chinese military ties, according to
a senior Republican lawmaker.
"They've told us they're
looking more seriously at it, that they're quote, unquote, reopening that
investigation, and I hope to get some answers," retiring Rep. Jason
Chaffetz, R-Utah, told Fox News.
Reached by phone, an attorney
claiming to represent the university told Fox News he’s unaware of any current
criminal justice probe implicating his client. Separately, the Naval Criminal
Investigative Service (NCIS) confirmed in a statement to Fox News that the
investigation into the University of Management and Technology (UMT) "is
still an active multi-agency investigation so there's nothing we can say at
this point."
In 2012, the FBI raided the
Rosslyn, Va.-based UMT and the home of its president, Yanping Chen Frame, a
Chinese-born naturalized U.S. citizen, and her husband J. Davidson Frame, the
school's academic dean.
Documents reviewed by Fox
News, as well as recently unsealed court
records, show the FBI focused on whether UMT's military personnel records could
be remotely accessed from China, potentially compromising military histories of U.S. service members,
as well as Chen's alleged false statements on immigration documents that
eventually allowed her to gain U.S. citizenship.
