The Chairman of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic has threatened to subpoena the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the US Department of Health and Human Services after they refused to produce information on an illegal Chinese lab that was "Caught red-handed conducting dangerous research related to COVID-19 and other deadly diseases without a license by FBI agents and California officials."
As we previously noted, the lab was found in what was thought to be a empty storage building in Reedley, California - located in the central San Joaquin Valley.
NBC News reports that an investigation found the tenant was Prestige BioTech, a company registered in Nevada and unlicensed for business in California.
City officials spoke with Xiuquin Yao, who was identified as the company president, through emails included in the court documents.
Yao told officials that Prestige BioTech moved assets belonging to a defunct company, Universal Meditech Inc., to the Reedley warehouse from Fresno after UMI went under.
Officials were unable to get any California-based address for either company except for the previous Fresno location from which UMI had been evicted.
