The CIA has issued a statement this morning after an active CIA employee was subpoenaed to testify before the Senate on the origins of COVID.
In short, they are not happy about it and say this isn’t a ‘whistleblower’.
Here’s the statement from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin:
BREAKING: CIA statement to @FoxNews on the active CIA employee testifying in the Senate Homeland Security Committee this AM on the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic & a possible government coverup.
“The Committee acted in bad faith by subpoenaing an Agency officer for testimony today without notifying CIA, despite having already obtained closed-door testimony from the individual previously. The witness testifying today is not appearing as a whistleblower in pursuit of the truth, but instead in response to the subpoena issued by Chairman Paul.
This proceeding amounts to nothing more than dishonest political theater masquerading as a congressional hearing. As the CIA has already assessed, COVID-19 most likely originated from a lab leak, and efforts to undermine that conclusion are disingenuous.” – Liz Lyons, CIA Director of Public Affairs
