House Intelligence Committee Republicans probe COVID-19 origin

Since 2012, Republican Members of the House Intelligence Committee have been examining the growing threat to America posed by the Communist Chinese government. As part of our ongoing investigation, we recently released an interim report on the origins of the COVID-19 outbreak. Significant circumstantial evidence indicates that the COVID-19 outbreak resulted from a laboratory leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. You can read the report here.

As noted by Byron York in The Washington Examiner, President Biden’s recent call for the Intelligence Community to more closely examine the origins of COVID-19 follows a letter I sent to the President notifying him of the circumstantial evidence collected by House Intelligence Committee Republicans and asking him to begin a whole-of-government effort to identify the origins of the virus. Regardless, I will continue to investigate the truth behind the spread of COVID-19 from China, the Chinese Communist Party’s efforts to cover up the virus’ origin, and whether U.S. taxpayer money directly or indirectly supported dangerous dual-use scientific research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
