China Mitch?
His rise to power was in part fueled by Chinese money. At one point I thought that had been "scrubbed" from his Wikipedia page, but I just found this there:
In 2018, the OpenSecrets website ranked McConnell one of the wealthiest members of the U.S. Senate, with a net worth of more than $25 million.[213] His personal wealth was increased after receiving a 2008 personal gift to him and his wife, given by his father-in-law James S. C. Chao after the death of McConnell's mother-in-law, whose value has been estimated to be $5–25 million.[214]
