Attorney General Jeff Landry wants to see a probe of the Chinese government’s role in the COVID-19 pandemic. Landry says it is time the House of Representatives put the same energy used in investigating the President, into focusing on something that is actually impacting the country.
“We know that there is mounting evidence that the Chinese government knew that there was problems in China, that the origin of the virus is still still questionable,” said Landry.
Landry is among 18 state AGs to co-sign a letter sent to Congressional leaders asking for hearings on capitol hill to help better understand the origins of the virus.
“The Speaker is content upon simply just investigating the administration when maybe we should be investigating people in countries that have taken an adverse position to the interests of America, and that is what this letter is about,” said Landry.
Landry cites recent reports suggesting that the Chinese government willfully and knowingly concealed information about the severity of the virus while simultaneously stockpiling PPE. Landry says before it is known what the accountability looks like for China, there are many questions that need to be answered.
“Was there something that they could have done? Was it intentional? Was it just negligent on their part? Or did they truly not understand what they were dealing with in that country?” asked Landry.
