Federal legislators continue to pursue the Wuhan lab leak.
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee subpoenaed 14 agencies with ties to a lab in China that received U.S. funding ahead of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the last days of President Biden’s administration, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) released a report saying that COVID-19 was more likely to have spread through a lab leak in Wuhan, China, than through naturally infected animals. Some members of Congress are pursuing additional information from all possible U.S. links to nearby Chinese research in the wake of the CIA’s report.
Committee chair Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky stated, “The goal of the investigation will be to critique the process that allowed this dangerous research, that may have led to the pandemic, to occur in a foreign country under unsafe protocols and to ensure that there is sufficient oversight and review going forward, making sure a mistake of this magnitude never happens again.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Senator Paul as he seeks further information on U.S. funding for biological and viral research.
- For members of Congress as they negotiate federal funding legislation.
