As Americans begin to slowly emerge from the governmentâs COVID restrictions, Members of Congress are demanding to know the origins of the virus but face an administration that is not forthcoming.
Representatives Devin Nunes (R-CA) and Bill Posey (R-FL) are leading the fight for transparency in the House. In the Senate, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has been outspoken in his efforts to get answers about the possibility that U.S. taxpayers funded research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Nunes, ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, along with Republicans on the committee, sent letters late last week to President Joe Biden and Avril Haines, director of National Intelligence, pushing them to declassify intelligence related to the Wuhan lab, carry out a full investigation into the origins of COVID-19, and release information about any U.S. funding for the Wuhan lab.

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), joined by 31 members of the Republican Conference, sent a letter Friday to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), demanding the Capitol be open for the public to access without restriction.
In a letter, the Republican members of Congress requested for the public to regain access to the national Capitol without “restrictions that require visitors to be on a preapproved list,” including letting the House and Senate office buildings be open so the “American people could easily access their elected representatives.”
The letter from the group of Republicans asked for Pelosi and Schumer to “lift COVID-19 restrictions limiting public access to the United States Capitol.”
