Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), chairman of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, said classified State Department documents “credibly suggest” that COVID-19 originated from a “lab-related accident” in China.

In a May 7 letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Mr. Wenstrup asked the State Department to declassify the records, saying that the full contents of the documents would allow the American people to “have a more complete picture of the government’s evidence regarding the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
