House GOP will 'leave no stone unturned' on Wuhan lab investigation

Washington Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers says the GOP wants an American investigation into the Wuhan Institute of Virology separate from the WHO.

Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., told "America Reports" on Tuesday that the House GOP will not "leave any stone unturned" on the Wuhan lab investigation into the coronavirus.

CATHY MCMORRIS RODGERS: We launched our investigation in March, and what we are seeking is a comprehensive inquiry to the NIH to join the Energy and Commerce Committee so that we can get a complete, a scientific and independent investigation into the origins of COVID-19. That is what we need.

…

There's a lot of circumstantial clues that point to a laboratory accident. So as a part of our investigation, we're pushing more information from NIH, the State Department, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the Department of Homeland Security and Eco-Health Alliance … Eco Health Alliance is the entity that received the funding from NIH. And we want to know what that was used for … Eco-Health Alliance is the one that was involved in funding this bat-coronavirus research with the lab. So, again, this is a matter of public health, it is a matter of biosecurity and we're not going to leave any stone unturned until we get some answers.
