Republican senators asked their colleagues on April 24 to require that funding of the World Health Organization be tied to the entity’s cooperation with the congressional inquiry into the handling of the CCP virus outbreak.

In a letter to Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.)—the chairman and ranking member of the subcommittee that drafts the spending legislation covering the World Health Organization (WHO)—five Republican senators requested that funding for the WHO be reduced in fiscal year 2021 if the organization fails to cooperate with the inquiry.
