The House Oversight Committee is holding a subcommittee hearing on the origins of COVID-19 following reports from the Energy Department that concluded that the virus came from a lab leak in Wuhan, China.
The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic will receive testimony from Robert Redfield, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; Jamie Metzl, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council; and Nicholas Wade, former New York Times science and health editor.The Energy Department made a judgment in"low confidence" that the virus originated from the Wuhan lab.
Republicans are split on how to approach the topic, with some hoping to take a China-focused approach to reignite legislation that would declassify intelligence relating to the pandemic and place restrictions on China, among other things.Other GOP lawmakers are seeing the Energy Department's report as a green light to investigate how much the Biden administration knew about the virus's origins.
