I’m just asking because if there is I’d like to know about it. The precedent example you gave relates to someone who was actively working for another country so I’m not sure it would be relevant unless that ends up being the case here.

55. Some elected officials, however, began wittingly assisting foreign state actors soon after
their election. [*** Three sentences were deleted to remove injurious or privileged information.
The sentences described examples of members of Parliament who worked to influence their
colleagues on India’s behalf and proactively provided confidential information to Indian officials.
This is really the particular point that's extremely concerning. Unnamed MP(s) were aided during the election and provided confidential info to India after the elections.
Note this is new and quite different and separate from the Han Dong situation, these are brand new revelations with term witting participants. While foreign interference from India was referred to a few times recently, this is the first report where we have unnamed MPs known to wittingly provide confidential information to Indian officials.
It's a major big deal.
