Blanche urged to investigate alleged foreign influence in fight against data centers

Lawmakers are urging acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to investigate claims that foreign-linked organizations are blocking data center construction in the U.S. to gain an advantage in AI development. The allegations include Chinese and Russian collusion, funding of NGOs, and security risks tied to infrastructure projects. The Party for Socialism and Liberation and Neville Roy Singham, a tech entrepreneur linked to pro-China groups, are cited as potential influences in anti-data center campaigns.
