Newly obtained documents show that 15 different agencies received pitches for a project that involved enhancing coronaviruses, but none of the agencies alerted Congress, according to Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).
Scientist Peter Daszak pitched the project to the U.S. Army, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and a dozen other agencies at a 2018 event held by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), according to the documents.
