WASHINGTON – A total of 18 state Attorneys general have signed a letter intended for bipartisan leaders in the House and Senate to open hearings into China’s role in spreading the coronavirus. South Carolina’s Attorney General, Alan Wilson, stated "we can't rely solely on media to do the investigation. We have got to have truly, we have got to have congressional oversight. We have got to go deep into an investigation using the reaches of the federal government."

The letter states that China new how deadly the virus was in the very early stages, but the CCP decided to conceal the information. The letter states, “Recent reports suggest that the communist Chinese government willfully and knowingly concealed information about the severity of the virus while simultaneously stockpiling personal protective equipment.”

The 18 attorneys general that signed the letter are all Republicans, including Nebraska’s Doug Peterson. Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry suggested Democrats are not taking a similar approach out of disdain for President Trump.
