Sens. Josh Hawley, Mike Braun and Mike Braun demanded that Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines send to Congress all information about the origins COVID-19.

In a letter sent Tuesday, the lawmakers urged the federal government’s top official for national security to comply with the law and turn over all documents. They dismissed the nine-page report redacted by Haines’s Office, released Friday. The law was passed by President Joe Biden in order to assist Congress in obtaining the truth regarding the origins of the pandemic.

The senators stated in their letter that “This law required the Director of National Intelligence ‘to declassify all information’ relating links between the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and the origin of COVID-19.” The report was only five pages long, plus the cover page and an appendix. The U.S. Government has more information. This half-baked attempt falls far short of statutory requirements, and undermines the intent of Congress.”

The Biden administration is under increased scrutiny for its relationship with China. Senators accuse Haines and her administration of trying to minimize China’s involvement in the pandemic, and its origins, to avoid offending the Chinese government.

1776 Coalition Sponsored D.C. isn’t singing Kumbaya just yet Quite frankly, we may have won the election, but there’s still a war to be fought and the Left isn’t resting; they’re regrouping. And now that Donald Trump is Time’s Person of the Year, you can be assured their feelings have been exacerbated. They’re not singing Kumbaya in DC just yet. In fact, they’re plotting ways to embarrass him and cause him to fail. Will you join our efforts to fight back and defeat them?. We can’t wait until January 21—that will be too late!

The senators said that “your failure to comply with law is particularly worrisome given recent events.” The Biden administration and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence have shown a disturbing level of deference to China. This includes obscuring the extent of China’s intelligence cooperation with Cuba, as well as downplaying the severity of China’s collection of intelligence over U.S. Airspace.

Haines was reminded by the senators that her office had not produced the report before June 23, despite the fact that it was the deadline for complying with the orders. The legislators gave Haines an extension for the remaining information about the origins.

The Republican legislators wrote: “If you do not, we welcome your testimony to Congress in this matter. You can answer questions under oath.” The American people deserve the truth about China’s role in COVID-19’s origins.

The nine-page document focused on how the intelligence community understood that the virus was linked to a leak in a Wuhan Institute of Virology lab, but it wasn’t conclusive enough to say the virus came from there.

Intelligence agencies still believed that both the lab leak and the theory of the virus being transferred from an animal infected with the disease were plausible theories.
