GOP Senators push to declassify information on COVID-19 origins

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) joined forces on a bill to declassify the information behind the origins of the COVID-19 virus. The bill is called “COVID-19 Origin Act of 2021.”
Both the former Center for Disease Control Director Robert Redfield and Director of the World Health Organization Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus have alleged that the virus came from a Wuhan laboratory.
The bill calls to release the information within 90 days of its enactment.
According to Sen. Braun, this information “is vital for preventing future pandemics.”

The Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM), the command responsible for overseeing U.S. operations in the area, said in a statement that the encounter occurred on December 21, during which a Chinese Navy J-11 fighter jet flew within 10 feet (3 meters) of a U.S. Air Force RC-135, a reconnaissance plane with about 30 people on board.
According to a U.S. military spokesperson, the Chinese jet came within 10 feet of the airplane’s wing, but 20 feet from its nose, causing the U.S. aircraft to take evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision.
