Top House intel Republican says committee will subpoena intel community over COVID origins
CBSN
The top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee says Republicans will issue subpoenas to the intelligence community to gather information about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.
GOP Rep. Mike Turner told CBS News senior investigative correspondent Catherine Herridge that Republicans plan to examine the intelligence behind the virus' origins, which they are not currently able to access. Republicans this week released a report on the intelligence community's look at the pandemic's origins this week. Democratic investigators on the committee also released their own report alleging that intelligence agencies may have lost a key opportunity to determine the virus' origins by not securing resources earlier.
"We will be issuing subpoenas on these materials and on this information," Turner told Herridge during the interview, which aired on CBS News Friday. He said Republicans on the committee are interested in the information that formed the basis of the intelligence community's report on COVID-19, which was divided on the virus' origins.
