Judicial Watch is front and center in the effort to hold the Biden administration accountable throughout the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Last year, Judicial Watch sued the administration for information on the Β Chinese governmentβs reported abuse of U.S. diplomatic personnel. Specifically, Judicial Watch sought documents on the Chinese governmentβs use of anal swabs COVID-19 tests on U.S. diplomats. As Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton states, βis [the use of anal swab testing] just an opportunity for China to mess with our diplomatic personnel by shaming them or embarrassing them?β
This lawsuit forced the release of documents from the State Department that reveal, as Fitton notes, there were concerns in the U.S. Embassy in Beijing about what was going on:
As Fitton comments in the Judicial Watch Weekly Update: itβs disturbing that the Biden administration didnβt seem to do anything about this publiclyβ¦ Our diplomats were harassed with no pushbackβ¦when you realize β¦ that China was β¦ playing games with the United States and international investigators β¦ [and] were targeting their own people to make sure they wouldnβt talk, this is a big issue.β
βOur diplomatic personnel were harassed in a reprehensible way by the Chinese government, and the Biden administration seems to have done little in response β except to cover it up,β Fitton said.
The Biden administrationβs βcover up,β Fitton contends, is broadly related to a cover-up of the gain-of-function research carried out by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) prior to the virusβ outbreak. In fact, βas Judicial Watch has uncovered, China was engaged in gain-of-function research thanks to the βgood officesβ of people like Anthony Fauci and other government agencies who funded it,β Fitton states. βThey were very nervous that gain-of-function research resulted in the emergence of COVID.β
