Missouri Wins Multi-Billion-Dollar Judgement Against China In COVID Lawsuit

A federal judge on Friday ruled in favor of Missouri in the state’s $24 billion lawsuit against the Chinese Communist Party, which accused China of hoarding supplies of protective equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Federal court ruled that Missouri “has established this claim of damages through evidence satisfactory to the court,” Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced in a press release Friday. The ruling follows a lawsuit filed by Bailey’s predecessor and current U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt, which accused the CCP of “obstructing the production, purchase, and export of critical medical equipment, including PPE, during the pandemic.”

As early as May 2020, just weeks into the global outbreak, the Department of Homeland Security was warning that the CCP failed to alert the world about the outbreak in order to hoard the necessary medical supplies. Outbreaks were first reported in January 2020, though people who raised concern about the coronavirus were labeled as “racists” by Democrat lawmakers at the time.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) even had lunch in Chinatown in order to dismiss concerns over the virus and accuse the Trump Administration of racism for alerting the public.

Experts have long believed that the virus — which originated not far from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, an infectious disease laboratory  —  was spreading for weeks before any reports surfaced outside China.

Of course they won't pay, but it might yield Trump some leverage.
