Republican Sens. Josh Hawley of Missouri and Mike Braun of Indiana want Americans to see U.S. intelligence on links between China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) and the origins of the CCP virus, which is the cause of COVID-19.
Their legislative proposal—the COVID-19 Origin Act of 2021—directs President Joe Biden to declassify the intelligence collected to date by U.S. agencies on the potential links between the WIV and the virus. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) has been collecting related information since at least April 2020.
