This page from a House Oversight Committee report (stamped HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020553) details the influence of the Chinese government on US broadcasters Voice of America (VOA) and Radio Free Asia. It describes how pressure from the Chinese embassy in Washington, DC, led VOA's Mandarin service to shift from critical reporting on Chinese history to 'soft' content like 'Cultural Odyssey' and English teaching segments. The document also details internal conflicts, including a 2011 budget fight and the 2012 hiring and subsequent firing of a service head following a controversial interview that angered the PRC. There is no mention of Jeffrey Epstein in this specific document.
