Ernst, Gallagher Launch Investigation into U.S. Defense Dollars Diverted to China or Risky Research

Press Release

"Taxpayers deserve to know how much of their money is being shipped to China and why Washington continues collecting and creating deadly super viruses--both of which could pose threats to our national security. COVID-19, which likely began by being leaked from China's Wuhan Institute, should have given pause to tampering with pathogens of pandemic potential, yet the Biden administration continues financing risky research around the world. We cannot trust the mad scientists at EcoHealth to get their hands on taxpayer money or bats ever again. Folks, it's just common sense that the Pentagon should never purchase any item with known espionage risks from a Chinese company. This investigation is the first step to bringing long overdue transparency and accountability to the indefensible ways Washington is spending our defense dollars."
