Rubio: McKinsey "Appears to Have Lied"

Press Release

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) sent a letter to McKinsey & Company's Global Managing Partner Bob Sternfels after learning that McKinsey disclosed "client connections" to the Chinese Government, and thus the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), as part of a bankruptcy disclosure process in September 2020. On three separate occasions, McKinsey had previously denied to Rubio and his staff that the CCP or the Chinese government had ever been a client.

The letter was first reported by NBC News, which notes that "critics [of McKinsey] like Rubio say the firm, the world's largest consulting company, needs to divulge more details about its work in China, particularly amid concerns in Washington about Beijing's industrial espionage, arms buildup and intellectual property theft."

"It has come to my attention that McKinsey & Company appears to have lied to me and my staff on multiple occasions regarding McKinsey's relationship with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Chinese government," Rubio wrote. "It is increasingly clear that McKinsey & Company cannot be trusted to continue working on behalf of the United States government, including our Intelligence Community."
