Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) announced his intention to introduce a new bill that would impose U.S. sanctions on Chinese officials responsible for silencing medical experts, journalists, political dissidents, and Chinese citizens who spoke up about the CCP virus.
“When Congress returns, introducing this legislation is just one of the necessary steps I will take to hold the Chinese officials involved in covering up the coronavirus outbreak accountable,” said Cruz, according to an April 14 press release from his office.
