Bipartisan bill calls for Biden to declassify intel on COVID-19 origins in China
(Worthy News) – A newly introduced bipartisan bill aimed at confronting the growing economic challenge and national security threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party calls for the Biden administration to declassify a host of intelligence related to the origins of COVID-19, including any evidence related to a Chinese cover-up or tied to a Wuhan lab.
Officials from the Trump and Biden administrations have said the Chinese government worked to thwart an independent investigation into the origins of the virus, which has killed 2.93 million people worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University. Both administrations cast doubt on the joint World Health Organization- China origins study released in March.
The bipartisan Strategic Competition Act, a 281-page bill introduced last week by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s Democratic Chairman Bob Menendez and ranking GOP member Jim Risch, calls for the executive branch to produce a number of reports related to Chinese malfeasance, global influence operations, and malign activities, including a detailed analysis on the source of the novel coronavirus.
