The House Oversight Committee is holding a subcommittee hearing on the origins of COVID-19 following reports from the Energy Department that concluded that the virus came from a lab leak in Wuhan, China.
The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic will receive testimony from Robert Redfield, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; Jamie Metzl, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council; and Nicholas Wade, former New York Times science and health editor.
CHRISTOPHER WRAY SAYS FBI BELIEVES COVID-19 'MOST LIKELY' ORIGINATED FROM LAB LEAK IN WUHAN, CHINA
The Energy Department made a judgment in "low confidence" that the virus originated from the Wuhan lab. FBI Director Christopher Wray said the agency has "moderate" confidence the pandemic was the result of a lab leak in Wuhan.
Republicans are split on how to approach the topic, with some hoping to take a China-focused approach to reignite legislation that would declassify intelligence relating to the pandemic and place restrictions on China, among other things.

Other GOP lawmakers are seeing the Energy Department's report as a green light to investigate how much the Biden administration knew about the virus's origins.
The committee will hold its hearing at 9 a.m. on Wednesday.
