Missouri Senator Josh Hawley is promising accountability now that President Biden has finally signed his bill to declassify all intelligence related to the origins of COVID-19.
“Today President Biden finally signed my bill to declassify what the government knows about Covid origins. Let the people see for themselves!” Hawley wrote on Twitter.
He added: “Huge victory for transparency. Now time for accountability.”

From Fox News:
The Republican is among many voices calling for Congress to share what information the federal government knew at the end of 2019, early-2020 when the coronavirus started rapidly spreading across the United States.
The newly signed COVID-19 Origin Act of 2023 intends to do just that, allowing the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to declassify intelligence related to China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, where many experts believe the pandemic originated.
President Biden signed the legislation on Monday, saying his administration would share “as much” as possible without compromising national security.
“My Administration will continue to review all classified information relating to COVID–19’s origins, including potential links to the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” Biden said in a statement. “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.”
