House Unanimously Passes Coronavirus Origins Declassification Bill, Sending Measure to Biden


The House of Representatives on Friday unanimously passed a coronavirus origins declassification bill, sending the measure to President Joe Biden for his signature.

The bill would require the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to declassify and make public any potential links between the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the origins of the deadly Coronavirus. The bill was already approved by the Senate on March 1 by unanimous consent.

The act, titled COVID-19 Origin Act, was sent to Biden by a 419-0 House vote. It is unclear if Biden will sign the bipartisan law. On Wednesday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to answer questions about the bill and referred reporters to the DNI.
