Cotton Statement on COVID-19 Origin Coverup Indictment
Washington, D.C. - Today, Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) released the following statement on the federal indictment of a former senior National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) official for concealing records related to the origin of COVID-19:
"Pointing out that COVID leaked from a lab in Communist China was never a conspiracy, it was common sense. The conspiracy was Tony Fauci and his assistants doing Xi Jinping's dirty work and lying about COVID's origins. I'm thankful that the Department of Justice and FBI are holding these fraudsters accountable."
