While at the National Security Council, Spalding notably wrote a memo calling for nationalizing the development of 5G wireless network. Spalding's advocacy was reportedly deemed outside his authority and he was subsequently asked to leave the NSC. He has since been notable as a critic of the Chinese Communist Party. Spalding served as a board member of We Build the Wall, the fundraising group which saw four of its members, including a former advisor to President Trump, Steve Bannon, indicted on fraud charges on August 20, 2020, “I would like to wait and see what happens. It is the case that we’re presumed innocent until proven guilty,” Spalding told the Guardian when allegations of fraud surfaced. “If it is proven true of course I would be disappointed.” Bannon was later pardoned by Trump, in one of the President's final acts in office, but two members of the group indicted with Bannon pled guilty, while the third was convicted.
