The House of Representatives has voted unanimously to declassify all information regarding the origins of COVID-19.

On Friday, the bill passed with 419 votes in favor. No lawmakers voted against the bill, although 16 abstained from the vote.  The vote comes just days after the Senate unanimously passed a similar bill. The Director of National Intelligence will be able to release the information if approved by President Joe Biden

Immediately following the bill’s passing, Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) fired off a letter to China’s President Xi Jinpin announcing the passing of the bill.

“Time is up. Come clean about your role in spreading COVID to the world,” said Hawley in a recent tweet.
