- Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher, chairman a House subcommittee on China, said Sunday the FBI and initially the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have declined to investigate a secret bio lab in California connected to the Chinese Communist Party .
- When asked on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” about how many more of the secret bio labs may exist across the United States, Gallagher responded: “The honest answer is we don’t know.”
- The interview comes after the his panel, House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, concluded a fugitive Chinese national ran an illegal laboratory in Reedley, Calif., for years with about 20 samples of infectious diseases. The operation was only discovered when a building inspector noticed suspicious activity at what was supposed to be an abandoned building.
