Biden still undecided on COVID bill that passed Congress unanimously (release of classified intel on origin)

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday that President Biden is still making up his mind about signing legislation that unanimously passed Congress calling for the declassification of information on the origins of COVID-19.

We’re taking a look into the bill,” Jean-Pierre said at her regular briefing.

The House of Representatives unanimously approved the COVID origins bill March 10 after the Senate passed the legislation without opposition one week prior.

Members of both parties have expressed interest in learning what evidence exists for the theory that the virus, which has killed more than 1 million Americans, leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China, that was conducting risky US-funded research.

Biden told reporters as he left the White House last week for his Delaware home that “I haven’t made that decision yet” when asked if he would sign the bill.

It’s unclear why Biden would consider vetoing the legislation, which would set up the first potential override of his presidency.

Under political pressure, Biden in May 2021 ordered a US intelligence community assessment of the origins of COVID-19, after previously saying the US would defer to the World Health Organization to get answers.

I hope the stupid pig vetoes it. Then they can override him unanimously. That’ll be the loudest crickets we ever heard from the MSM.

I’m suspicious of what they’ll be releasing....if it was so overwhelmingly supported by the swamp dwellers, I doubt there’s anything incriminating in the classified intel. Or maybe Biden is holding off signing it long enough to get it cleaned up.

I agree, hope the stupid bastard VETOS it.
The real kicker is if Congress now will refuse to override veto. Just watch that happen.

He’s probably trying to make/making back room deals to prevent an override. My prediction is pocket veto.

Yeah me too. You can almost bet whatever is released is going to be disinformation.
