President Biden signed a bill Monday that requires the director of national intelligence to declassify information about the origins of the coronavirus and potential links to a lab in central China.
“My administration will continue to review all classified information relating to COVID–19’s origins, including potential links to the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” Mr. Biden said. “In implementing this legislation, my administration will declassify and share as much of that information as possible, consistent with my constitutional authority to protect against the disclosure of information that would harm national security.
Sen. Josh Hawley, Missouri Republican, authored the COVID-19 Origin Act of 2023 to give the public more insight into the search for the origins of the virus, which killed nearly 7 million people worldwide. The government and outside experts have struggled to come to a firm conclusion, citing, among other things, the lack of cooperation from Beijing.
