Funder of Wuhan lab Peter Daszak refuses House request for docs as Democrats fail to subpoena

[Just The News] A major conduit of federal research funding to the Chinese coronavirus lab at the center of ongoing speculation over the origins of the SARS-Cov-2 virus is not complying with a months-old request from House Republicans for documentation related to his work with that lab, while Democrats in the House have failed to issue a subpoena to compel that evidence.

Peter Daszak, the president of the U.S. nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance, has been the subject of growing scrutiny over the last several months regarding his role in the funding of the Wuhan Institute of Virology. For several years leading up to the pandemic, EcoHealth Alliance funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal research grants to the WIV for the study of potential pandemic coronaviruses at the Wuhan lab.

As government investigators and journalists dig to uncover the full scope of Daszak's links to the WIV, Daszak is continuing to spurn a congressional request for that information.

In April, Republicans on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce sent Daszak a letter directing him to submit, among many other documents, "all letters, emails, and other communications between [EcoHealth] and [the WIV] related to terms of agreements, bat coronaviruses, genome or genetic sequencing, SARS-CoV-2, and/or laboratory safety practices" pursuant to key NIH research funding through EcoHealth to the Wuhan lab as a grant sub-recipient.

Yet Daszak himself has not cooperated with the request. An aide with the Energy and Commerce Committee confirmed to Just the News this week that the committee has "received no response still from EcoHealth Alliance and Peter Daszak to the April 16th letter from Leaders Rodgers, Guthrie, and Griffith."

Washington GOP Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers has also publicly noted Daszak's refusal to cooperate with the request made roughly two and a half months ago.

Stopped reading when I got to "nonprofit." When I see that word, I immediately default to money laundering, financial deception and clandestine manipulation.

So, once again the Socialist-Democrat party is seen as the stonewall in documenting the truth behind C-19/21.

#3 Daszak is right (responsible steward...) to not cooperate unless subpoenad, and the House is not issuing subpoena because it does not actually want the documents.
