TL;DR Summary

President Biden signed a bill into law that orders the Director of National Intelligence to declassify within 90 days all information relating to potential links between China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology and Covid-19. The legislation, called the Covid-19 Origin Act of 2023, aims to provide transparency about what the U.S. knows about how the pandemic started. The U.S. intelligence community is split about the origin of the pandemic, with some supporting the natural origin theory and others leaning toward the lab leak hypothesis. U.S. intelligence agencies will redact their data to protect sources and methods before sharing it with Congress.
