On Wednesday, a Just the News report revealed that Philip Perry, Cheney's husband, works for a firm with ties to China that have resulted in millions in deals with entities linked to China's military, intelligence, and security services.

"Philip Perry's law firm was cashing in on legal and lobbying work that his employer — Latham & Watkins (LW), one of the largest law firms in the world — was doing for a host of Chinese companies, some of which were involved in the kind of activity that Cheney was warning had to be stopped," Just the News reported.

The report, written by Just the News founder John Solomon and reporter Aaron Kliegman, added that even if Cheney's husband does not work on the particular accounts his firm has with China, he benefits nicely from its ties to the communist government.

This is a government so notorious for its murderous behavior toward its Uyghur Muslim population that the Trump administration branded its actions "genocide."

China isn't the only country Perry's firm does business with that has a distasteful record when it comes to human rights, according to the report. Belarus in Eastern Europe and Kazakhstan in central Asia, both former socialist republics that were part of the USSR, are also clients or former clients, according to the report.

"Perry's firm's work for Chinese entities and countries whose human rights abuses and authoritarian rule have troubled the U.S. for years seems to conflict with his wife's frequent calls for America to stand up to autocratic regimes like China," the report added. "The dynamic is one familiar to longtime observers of Washington, D.C.: a power couple calling out the very behavior from which they benefit."
