A Congressional effort into the origins of COVID-19 may be getting started, Newsmax reports.

U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee Republican Leader Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wa., Subcommittee on Health Republican Leader Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., and Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations Republican Leader Morgan Griffith, R-Va., have announced the launch of a webpage for whistleblowers to contact them with information pertaining to a probe into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We want the truth wherever the facts lead. We encourage whistleblowers who can inform a complete, scientific, and objective investigation into the origins of COVID-19 to contact the Committee.”
