Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) said on May 26 that she supports an investigation into the origins of the CCP virus—also known as the novel coronavirus—by the oversight panel of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
“I think it’s very important that we investigate, especially if the virus escaped from some lab somewhere because that, of course, has implications for international health,” DeGette, who chairs the subcommittee, said in response to comments by Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Texas).
