Lawmakers to probe intel agencies targeting Americans, COVID origin

New congressional investigations of the Biden administration’s potential use of the intelligence agencies against Americans and of COVID-19’s origins are brewing, The Washington Times has learned.

The Biden administration’s approach to domestic violent extremism and lingering questions about the intelligence community’s assessment of COVID-19’s origins are top-of-mind concerns for Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio, the ranking Republican on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

“There are grave constitutional concerns as to the intelligence community using the authorities, techniques and capabilities that we’ve given them against the American public, your friends, your neighbors, your family,” Mr. Turner said in an interview.
