A top Republican is demanding the Pentagon explain why it tried to hide taxpayer dollars sent to China for risky virus research.
A new Defense Department report shockingly revealed the agency lost track of millions of taxpayer dollars sent to the adversary of the US.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is now demanding Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin explain what exactly happened, according to correspondence exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com.
Paul says he’s ‘deeply concerned’ over the Pentagon report finding the department couldn’t determine whether it sent money to China for pathogen research.
‘It is unacceptable that DoD cannot account for the full extent of taxpayer funding it has spent on pandemic pathogen research at Chinese research laboratories,’ Paul wrote to Austin.
