Our new @Newsweek op-ed with @SenJoniErnst:

"While we can't force Communist China to be more forthcoming about what was happening at the Wuhan lab, we can at least expect our own government to be open and transparent, right? Think again."

"the Wuhan lab received $ through @NIH since 2015, something that should have been disclosed to US taxpayers as required by federal law...NIH needs to answer ?s about why it allowed funds to go to this lab & what it knew about the reported problems there."

"@CDCgov directors for former Presidents Donald Trump & Barack Obama, former @US_FDA commissioner @ScottGottliebMD & others believe a possible source of the virus was a leak from the controversial Wuhan Institute of Virology"

"A year ago, we exposed nearly $600K in @NIH funding—American tax dollars—funneled to WIV by a US non-profit. This perilous partnership went largely unnoticed & unchecked for years because the US org was consistently violating a federal transparency law."

WCW @ @SenJoniErnst in @Newsweek:

"@NIH needs to explain why it broke federal spending transparency law that would have given Congress, and most importantly the American people, a heads up that tax dollars were shipped to a virus lab run by the CCP."

"The COST Act that we're trying to pass now...combats secretive US spending in foreign countries, extends common-sense transparency provisions across all federal agencies & withholds taxpayer $ for noncompliance" #OpenGov
