US Senate passes bill to declassify intel data on COVID origin
The US Senate voted unanimously to pass a bill calling on the Biden administration to declassify the intelligence about the origin of COVID-19, Republican Josh Hawley, the Senator from Missouri, announced on Thursday, TASS reported.
"Tonight, the Senate unanimously passed my bill to declassify all the intelligence the government has on COVID origins. Let the people see the truth!" the senator wrote on Twitter.
Earlier, Republican congressmen requested documents that may shed some light on the coronavirus origin from the Department of Energy (DoE), the Department of State and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
According to Politico, the request was submitted to the government agencies following a Wall Street Journal article published earlier this week. According to it, the DoE has concluded that the COVID pandemic most likely arose from a Chinese laboratory leak.
