Inga demokrater deltog vid senatsförhör om covid-19:s ursprung

Ett utskottsförhör i senaten om ursprunget till covid-19 ägde rum på onsdagen utan att några demokratiska ledamöter var närvarande. CIA-visselblåsaren James Erdman III vittnade om att Dr. Anthony Fauci avsiktligt påverkade mörkläggningen av viktig information. Republikaner i utskottet kritiserade federala myndigheter för bristande transparens.

Senatens utskott för inrikes säkerhet och statliga frågor höll sessionen den 13 maj för att granska hur federala myndigheter hanterat information om pandemins ursprung. Erdman uppgav i sitt inledningsanförande att Fauci utnyttjade sin position för att handplocka experter och kontrollera underrättelsetjänstens slutsatser. Han refererade specifikt till författarna av rapporten The Proximal Origin of SARS-COV2 och noterade en brist på tillsyn gällande relaterade forskningspolicyer.
