.POTUS missed a key deadline set by a bipartisan law he signed that called for the declassification and release of intelligence on the Wuhan lab and its possible links to the origins of COVID-19. The House and Senate unanimously passed the law in March.
The House and Senate unanimously passed the COVID-19 Origin Act of 2023 in March, with the law giving the Office of the Director of National Intelligence 90 days to declassify and release intelligence on the Wuhan Institute of Virology and its connections to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2. The deadline passed on Sunday without the declassification happening.Rep.
The president said in his signing statement that his administration “will continue to review all classified information relating to COVID–19’s origins, including potential links to the Wuhan Institute of Virology” and that his team “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.
The senators told Biden the law “does not allow for redactions based on your Administration’s view of ‘national security’ broadly defined, as you claimed in your signing statement” but “rather, the Act only provides for much narrower redactions to protect intelligence sources and methods.” The Wuhan Institute of Virology has long been suspected as the source of the COVID-19 global pandemic that contributed to the deaths of more than 1 million Americans. The close relationship between the Wuhan lab and the Chinese military has been a focal point for congressional investigators.
ODNI's further declassified October 2021 report also included a section titled “The Case for the Laboratory-Associated Incident Hypothesis,” apparently a summary of the FBI’s argument.
