U.S. Govt. Made Duplicate Payments to Wuhan Lab in China, Potentially Losing Tens of Millions of Dollars

[Breitbart] The United States government reportedly made duplicate payments to fund projects at the Wuhan, China, laboratory — the proposed origin of the coronavirus pandemic.

Through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Wuhan lab in communist-controlled China allegedly received double the funds from research grants, according to a review of records by CBS News.
"Squirrel!" Now the news is all about the double payments, not the fact that Fauci, et al, were paying at all
Diane Cutler, a federal investigator who has investigated white-collar crimes for over 20 years, called the double billing a "potential theft of government funds"
"What I’ve found so far is evidence that points to double billing, potential theft of government funds. It is concerning, especially since it involves dangerous pathogens and risky research," said Cutler.

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) hired Cutler to investigate U.S. government grants going to high-risk research in China prior to the coronavirus pandemic. Her findings were then shared with the internal watchdog at USAID. Tens of millions of dollars could have potentially been stolen and sources close to the situation did not refute the report. Per the CBS News:

Cutler said she has viewed over 50,000 documents, and that the U.S. government may have made duplicate payments for possible medical supplies, equipment, travel and salaries.

A spokesperson for USAID declined to comment. A USAID inspector general spokesperson declined to comment "on the existence of a specific open investigation." The press office for NIH did not respond to CBS News’ questions.

Sources told CBS News the investigation of possible double-billing could take at least six months to conclude.

Sen. Marshall has called for a congressional commission to investigate the grant funds that were sent to the Wuhan lab.

#1 Did the so-called "double payments" amount to 10 percent of the overall allotted expenditures ?

Just curious.

#8 Why is USAID funding bio research to begin with? I thought most of their funds went to finance Soros. There is no excuse for this blatant corruption by a latently corrupt and worthless organization. Fauci was in charge of bankrolling our biological doom. This is senseless waste of money that should have gone benefited our internal political enemies.

#9 So they not only got us to pay for the catalyst for this crap, they overcharged us in the bargain?

No doubt why Emperor Xi has toned down the public threats, he can't keep a straight face.
