A group of Republican senators have asked the World Health Organization (WHO) to provide information on the body’s “failed and delayed response” to the CCP virus outbreak.
Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) and six other senators, in a letter to WHO Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus dated April 14, requested information relating to the body’s “role in helping the Chinese Communist Party [CCP] cover up information regarding the threat of the Coronavirus.” The request was made ahead of a congressional hearing by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to investigate the WHO’s handling of the outbreak.
