Texas Senator John Cornyn is facing serious scrutiny after new revelations were made public on X by Investigative Journalist and founder of Loomered Strategies, Laura Loomer. Loomer uncovered information that exposed the Senator’s daughter, Haley Cornyn, for actively lobbying on behalf of Alibaba, one of several Chinese companies currently under investigation by the State of Texas. Alibaba is an international tech conglomerate with well-documented ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The lobbying contract, registered in Texas, spans from March 17, 2025, through December 31, 2025.
According to public lobbying disclosures, Haley Cornyn is a registered lobbyist working under Greenberg Traurig LLP. She represents Alibaba’s interests in Texas at a time when the company is under legal threat from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who has launched an investigation into CCP-affiliated entities over alleged violations of the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA).
National Security Concerns
Haley Cornyn’s lobbying for Alibaba raises major national security concerns. She is the daughter of U.S. Senator John Cornyn, who has served four full terms (22 years) in the U.S. Senate since 2002.
Senator Cornyn holds positions on several of the most sensitive committees in Congress:
- Committee on Finance
- Committee on the Judiciary
- Select Committee on Intelligence
- Committee on Foreign Relations
- Committee on the Budget
Haley Cornyn’s work for a CCP-linked company presents a serious conflict of interest. Her family ties to a senior U.S. Senator potentially gives foreign entities like Alibaba indirect access to classified policy discussions, which further raises questions about impropriety.
Loomer emphasized the national security risk stating, “Cornyn could possibly be compromised by the CCP!”
AG Ken Paxton’s Legal Action Against Alibaba
On May 6, 2025, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton formally notified Alibaba and several other Chinese companies of alleged violations under the TDPSA.
The law, which took effect on July 1, 2024, was enacted to safeguard Texans’ digital privacy. It mandates transparency, consumer rights over data, and strict protections against unauthorized access, deletion, and processing.
Paxton’s office gave Alibaba 30 days to comply with the law or face further legal action. In his public statement, Paxton cited the CCP’s potential misuse of Texans’ data as a pressing national security issue.
“I have notified several Chinese‑owned companies that they must stop violating Texas’s privacy laws and protect Texans’ data from falling into the hands of the CCP,” Paxton said. “Failure to do so will be met with the full force of my office.”
Political Fallout for Senator Cornyn
Haley Cornyn’s lobbying for Alibaba undercuts Senator John Cornyn’s public image as a champion of national security. It also raises questions about whether the CCP is leveraging familial relationships to gain indirect influence over sensitive U.S. policymaking.
This is compounded by the fact that Alibaba has faced other legal issues, class action investigations with litigation settlements for their seemingly shady operations, alleged violations of U.S. federal securities laws, and monopolistic practices harming consumers and shareholders. Furthermore, it has even been reported that Alibaba’s executives are even being investigated for their Trade Assurance policy. Last year, Alibaba settled a major shareholder lawsuit for $433.5 million.
These revelations arrive as Senator Cornyn faces a heated primary challenge from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is currently leading in multiple Texas Senate GOP polls by double digits.

Many conservatives view Cornyn’s long tenure and connections to the D.C. establishment as out of step with the populist, America First movement that is now reshaping the GOP in the image of MAGA under President Trump.
“This is yet another example of why John Cornyn is unfit to serve in the U.S. Senate,” said Laura Loomer. “His daughter’s work for a CCP-linked company is a national security threat. Cornyn should immediately drop out of the race.”
The Bigger Picture: CCP Influence in U.S. Politics
Haley Cornyn’s lobbying activities underscore a broader pattern of elite U.S. political families enriching themselves through ties to foreign interests. Too often, powerful families seek to hold public office for influence at the expense of American values and U.S. national security.
As U.S.-China tensions continue to rise under the Trump administration, the Cornyn-Alibaba connection is becoming a defining issue in the Texas GOP Senate primary. Voters must decide whether they want a Senator whose own family takes money to advance the agenda of a foreign adversary.
Attorney General Ken Paxton, an America First fighter who is taking real legal action against the CCP, stands out as a clear choice for Texans who value sovereignty, transparency, and national security.
The following will be implemented upon the staged failure of Beijing’s invasion of Taiwan, when at the time the American military will have been pivoted to South Korea in response to North Korea’s mobilization along the 38th parallel:
“Since at least the early 1970s, the Communist party of China has been poised to create a spectacular but controlled “democratization” at any appropriate time. The party had by then spent two decades consolidating its power, building a network of informants and agents that permeate every aspect of Chinese life, both in the cities and in the countryside. Government control is now so complete that it will not be seriously disturbed by free speech and democratic elections; power can now be exerted through the all-pervasive but largely invisible infrastructure of control. A transition to an apparently new system, using dialectical tactics, is now starting to occur.” — Playing the China Card (The New American, Jan. 1, 1991).

“A campaign for a new system of World Government will be launched at Summit level and will be accompanied by pressure from below, the active use of agents of influence and secret assassinations of leaders who are seen as obstacles. The campaign will come as a surprise to the US Administration [sic]. In the ensuing negotiations, the US President of the day will find himself facing a combined pressure from the Russians and the Chinese. The Chinese will by then have adopted a ‘reformed’, pseudo-democratic system.” — KGB Defector Major Anatoliy Golitsyn, ‘The Perestroika Deception’ (April 1993), p. 166.

Currently approximately 500,000 PLA are inside the nation (not counting the approximately 100,000 soldiers from other Marxist nations)…

….whose primary mission is to neutralize the 24.4 million Americans who own AR-15, or similar, rifles, just subsequent to the invasion of the United States by ‘democratic’ China.* Biden’s treason policy continues unabated, thereby identifying the Marxist Demlican Party. The open borders policy of the Biden administration was to smother from sight the entry of the approximately 500,000 PLA soldiers under the avalanche of the approximately 28 million illegal civilians that entered the country.
Coinciding with the “collapse” of the Marxist regime in Beijing, the manufactured ‘drug wars’ in Mexico will have spread throughout Mexico, whereby Mexico City will request the aide of ‘democratic’ China in fighting the ‘drug cartels’ (cartels being controlled by Mexico City). Chinese military operations will commence in southern Mexico, moving up to the American border, where the invasion of the United States will commence, but can only commence when Americans are deprived of automatic rifles.
