It's becoming more interesting by the day to see who is behind the money funding some of the more high-profile anti-Trump groups and movements.

According to the Daily Caller, Boston Democratic Mayor Michelle Wu was bankrolled to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars "from a fundraiser who is listed by a Chinese intelligence agency as an official."

The money for the anti-Trump "resistance" mayor was raised mostly by Gary Yu, the founder of Boston International Media Consulting.

Gary Yu happens to be listed as an "official by an agency of a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influence and intelligence service called the United Front Work Department (UFWD)."

What's going on?

According to other reports, including those from the CCP and Chinese state media, Gary Yo is also listed as a recruiter for the Chinese government.

The Daily Caller nailed an exclusive report on the situation thanks to China Expert Gordon Change.

The outlet noted:

“The Communist Party’s UFWD never rests,” author and China expert Gordon Chang told the DCNF. “There is no ethnic Chinese official in America who is not targeted. It’s time for law enforcement to investigate the CCP’s ties to Gary Yu and Yu’s ties to Mayor Michelle Wu.”

Mayor Wu gained national prominence within the Democratic Party for being one of the most outspoken and resistant leaders to Trump's border and migration policies.

"Wu’s ultra-leftism makes her the perfect candidate for CCP recruitment and capture," Chang said. "Or do we have it backward? Is her ultra-leftism the result of CCP recruitment and capture? More than just the people of Boston would like to know."

The Daily Caller added:

Yu has repeatedly met with high-ranking CCP intelligence leaders in China and is listed as an official by two regional branches of a UFWD arm, according to Chinese government announcements, state media reports and records from Chinese civic associations led by Yu.
