Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt is suing the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for what his office said were actions to suppress information related to the pandemic in December 2019.
The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, claims Chinese authorities’ actions led to harsh effects and deaths in Missouri, Schmitt said on April 21. His state is the first to take legal action against the CCP amid the pandemic.
