U.S. President Joe Biden signed on Monday a new law that could shed light on the links between the coronavirus pandemic and a lab in Wuhan, China. The Mail has more.
The move requires all U.S. intelligence related to… the origins of COVID-19 to be declassified within 90 days of the law’s enactment.
“We need to get to the bottom of COVID-19’s origins,” Biden wrote in a statement. He noted any released material should also “include potential links to the Wuhan Institute of Virology”.
“In implementing this legislation, my administration will declassify and share as much of that information as possible,” he added.
The bill passed unanimously in the House and the Senate before being passed along to the White House. Missouri Republican Senator Josh Hawley originally sponsored the bill.
Biden’s signature now instructs Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines to declassify any information the U.S. intelligence community has collected related to the origins of the COVID-19 virus in the next three months.
The debate in Washington, D.C. over China intentionally leaking the virus from a lab in Wuhan was recently refueled. The Wall Street Journal reported last month the Energy Department assessed – albeit with low confidence – that the pandemic likely arose from the alleged Chinese laboratory leak.
Beijing denies this assessment.
The President claims that he believes in Congress’s goal of making available as much information as possible about where and how the coronavirus pandemic originated.
But he claimed that national security risks would still need to be assessed when it came to what his administration decides to release to the public.
“In implementing this legislation, my administration will declassify and share as much of that information as possible, consistent with my constitutional authority to protect against the disclosure of information that would harm national security,” Biden said in a statement on the declassification.
So it’ll only be released if it reflects badly on China but not on the U.S., meaning this is set to be yet another exercise in obfuscation.
But will it mean the famous November 2019 intelligence report on a virus outbreak in Wuhan will finally be released? That would be a result – helping to clarify what U.S. intelligence was really seeing and saying at that crucial point.
Worth reading in full.

Re your headling, President Biden didn’t order it. If any entity “ordered it”, it was the Congress who passed a law that the President signed.
Interesting he did not veto it like he did with the law passed by Congress (both parties) prohibiting ESG investing.
All the docs that are fit to read….
Agreed…as the US is at peak ‘Red Peril China’ fanaticism, I think he already knows what the documents are going to say..I suspect it’s a forgone conclusion….it’ll be China wot dunnit…….
Somehow I don’t think there will be a ton of actual verifiable evidence, and I don’t think they’ll mention Fauci, or gain of function….do you?
Yes I think it will mention Fauci. His time is up, despite a protracted rearguard action even the establishment media are no longer covering for him and Biden will use this news as useful headline cover for his own corruption and to delay the inevitable news about the catastrophic levels of death and disability due to the vaccination program.
IMO Fauci being thrown under the bus.
…I agree that what you say is what should occur but in relation to what is happening elsewhere I think this is more to do with blaming China…they are really throwing everything at it at the moment..particularly in light of Xi’s visit to Russia, and the idea of a Chinese Peace Plan for Ukraine….
Fraudci knows too much to be thrown under a bus.
AAAhh hat’s sad – Fauci being thrown under a bus!!!
I want the sniveling barsteward to stand trial and be sent to an isolation unit in a maximum security jail!!! For the rest of his life.
Hopefully sharing a cell with the father of one of the many children killed in his fraudulent ‘vaccine’ trials in the USA (see ‘The Real Anthony Fauci’ by R F Kennedy Jr.)
Maybe this was the result of the House Select Sub-committee hearing, part of which was reported recently bu Dr. John Campbell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYiy2pclRxQ “Gain of function research”.
Is the EU interested in investigating the dear old German labs in Wuhan, and dodgy folk like Christian Drosten. When Merkel visited in October 2019 to open the Webasto factory and went to visit a German funded hospital: funny! Was it not given out that Webasto employees brought the first coof to Deutschland?)
Don’t leave the Germans out!
It’s all a big supranational nest of vipers, though, ain’t it?
Redacters get your Sharpies at the ready.
Gonna be a lot of black pen through anything that does eventually make its way to the public!
Entire pages will be black – the fake news will declare the black pages to be the most transparent document in history.
The more black ink, the more we know information is being withheld. However, little or no black ink would mean what is being released is fake. And I wouldn’t bet against that scenario.
Doesn’t Biden take his orders from Xi Jinping?

Let me guess:
They will find that the virus was probably created in the Wuhan lab and released either accidentally or deliberately.
But they won’t find out who commissioned the research and/or paid for it.
So that will mean any documents that haven’t been shredded?
