The CIA whistleblower testifying before the Senate Homeland Security Committee about COVID origins came forward “at great personal risk” because “the truth was being buried,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Wednesday.
Special operations officer James Erdman III was issued a subpoena to appear before Paul’s panel on May 5. He’s previously testified in a classified setting before the committee.
“He’s a decorated officer with decades of intelligence and national security experience,” the GOP chairman noted.
“Before joining the CIA in 2013, he served with the Second Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment and as a Foreign Service Officer at the Department of State. He recently completed a joint duty assignment with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Director’s Initiatives Group [DIG],” Paul also said.
“Mr. Erdmann holds a bachelor of science in biology with a minor in chemistry from Western Oregon University, and has received the Director of National Intelligence, National Intelligence Award, and the CIA Intelligence Medal of Merit.”
