CodePink promoted a China tour led by co-founder Medea Benjamin while a federal grand jury investigation into alleged financial misconduct involving activist and donor Neville Roy Singham remains ongoing, according to Fox News reporting published Oct. 13, 2026.
The organization advertised a 12-day, 11-night itinerary that includes Shanghai, Chongqing, Zunyi, Loushanguan, Maotai Village and Guiyang. Its website estimated participant costs at $3,000 to $4,000, depending on group size, and described visits focused on China’s revolutionary history, infrastructure and rural development. CodePink videos posted this week showed Benjamin discussing the trip and praising the safety of a location in China.
Fox News reported that a grand jury investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York was opened in June into alleged money laundering, bank fraud and wire fraud involving Singham and his network. The report also cited its own investigation estimating that Singham directed $278 million to a network of nonprofits since 2017, including CodePink.
Those figures and allegations are attributed to Fox News reporting; the supplied material does not provide independent documentation of them. Singham and CodePink have denied that the organization takes direction from the Chinese government. Singham has said his political views guide him, while CodePink co-founder Benjamin has said the group receives no money from the Chinese Communist Party. No related criminal charges have been filed, according to the report.
Fox News said it sought comment from CodePink and Singham but received no response.
