In order to safeguard against the disclosure of information that could "harm national security," Mr. Biden pledged to declassify as much information as he could. This was done "pursuant to a constitutional mandate."
"In order to avoid future pandemics, we must determine the cause of COVID-19. All classified information about COVID-19, including any connections to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, will continue to be reviewed by my government," Mr. Biden said in a statement.
The debate over the declassification of intelligence material reemerged in February as a result of leaks of a report on the potential laboratory origin of COVID-19 from the US Department of Energy. The Republicans ordered the disclosure, which was supported by Mr. Biden.
