WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — The U.S. House of Representatives on Friday voted unanimously to pass a bill that would compel the Biden administration to declassify all documents related to the origins of the COVID-19 outbreak. The measure now heads to President Joe Biden’s desk for a signature.
According to Axios, the House passed the bill in a sweeping bipartisan 419-0 vote. The U.S. Senate approved its version of the measure, U.S. Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri’s “COVID-19 Origin Act of 2023,” in a unanimous vote last week. At the time, Bloomberg Law suggested that the legislative proposal “could put pressure on the Biden administration to voluntarily declassify.”
If approved, the measure will require the Director of National Intelligence to declassify all documents pertaining to the origins of the COVID-19 virus, redacting only those portions of the materials necessary to protect sources and methods.
Axios reported the bill is likely to become law, since Biden hasn’t suggested he would veto it.
