Republican lawmakers teased a future congressional probe into McKinsey & Company’s business relations with the Chinese government on Tuesday, demanding to know whether the powerful global consultancy passed along information regarding its U.S.-government clients to the Chinese Communist Party.

In a letter addressed to McKinsey’s global managing partner, Bob Sternfels, Senator Marco Rubio and several GOP members of Congress explained how recent revelations about McKinsey’s work with opioid manufacturers raised new concerns about its work with the Chinese party-state. The lawmakers also hinted that McKinsey may face more congressional scrutiny if Republicans retake Congress in November’s midterm elections.
