Bipartisan group in House comes together for bill to allow Covid victims to sue China

House Democrats and Republicans are coming together for two bipartisan bills Friday — to get to the bottom of how the pandemic started, and to allow the families of victims to sue the Chinese Communist Party for damages stemming from their early concealment of the virus.

The first bill, being introduced by five Democrats and five Republicans, is called the “Made in America Emergency Preparedness Act,” and would establish a 9/11-style commission to investigate how the once-in-a-generation pandemic began. The legislation was originally introduced last April by Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.).
