Although Greene says Chao left her husband's bedside for her visit to China, Chao was already in China and did not rush home because of her husband's medical emergency.
Greene flat-out calls Chao, Trump's former Transportation Secretary, a Communist Spy, and calls Republicans hypocrites for not calling her out.
David Hearn is blasting the grand jury indictment that led to a felony charge against him after his Reflecting Pool arrest ... he says he's innocent and "these charges are outrageous and should be alarming to every American."
The former Olympian's legal team tells TMZ ... "This indictment reflects the Administration’s effort to shift blame for their own failures. On the eve of our nation's Independence Day, Americans should be deeply concerned by the misuse of government power against an ordinary citizen based on a concocted narrative. The justice system exists to determine facts, not to provide political cover."
