Summary

Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee recently released the latest report from their investigation into the origins of COVID-19, further bolstering the theory that the virus came from a leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The report outlined evidence alleging the Chinese Communist Party covered up crucial warning signs of a deadly virus that has now claimed millions of lives worldwide. Earlier this weke on the FOX News Rundown, host Dave Anthony spoke to ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) about the findings of his report, why he is demanding sanctions against Wuhan Lab scientists and how China's lack of transparency allowed the coronavirus to spread internationally. Congressman McCaul also reacted to Chinese Communist Party officials denouncing his report and why he believes the findings will be confirmed by the U.S. intelligence community. The interview was too long and we could not include it all in our original segment. On The FOX News Rundown Extra, you can hear our entire conversation with Rep. McCaul which includes his criticisms of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
