U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), a member of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, secured new confirmation from a CIA whistleblower that there is evidence government officials covered up COVID’s true origins and made excuses for China’s likely involvement.
After years of leading investigations into the origins of the COVID-19 virus, Ernst put a longtime CIA employee, with firsthand knowledge of the intelligence community’s response to the pandemic, on the record about government suppression of origin theories and bureaucratic flaws that enabled the cover-up.
“I’ve long warned about a potential government cover-up of the truth, which our brave witness has confirmed to us today,” said Senator Ernst. “I haven’t backed down from fighting for more information on the true COVID origins, and yet Congress is still here, six years later, begging agencies to share answers and for committees to make relevant documents public…There are a lot of U.S. secrets and secret keepers, without a lot of explanation. It’s time for the secrets to end. Our constituents deserve to know the truth about COVID-19 origins.”
