While conversation continues as to the origins of the Wuhan coronavirus, which may have leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Republicans in both houses of Congress are taking steps to ensure there is more transparency, including when it comes to ensuring American taxpayers do not have to fund that Wuhan lab. Townhall spoke to one of those Republicans, Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa, about how she is contributing to such efforts.
The senator, along with fellow Republicans Roger Marshall of Kansas and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin has introduced an amendment to the Endless Frontier Act, which was introduced last month by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

A group of Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation to cutoff U.S. funding for the Wuhan lab at the center of the COVID-19 lab leak hypothesis.
The Defund the Wuhan Institute of Virology Act would prohibit all federal agencies, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), from sending cash to the Wuhan lab that some have suggested could be linked to the origin of COVID-19. The bill is being introduced by Republican Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry and 13 other GOP cosponsors.
