Biden offering free pass to crook researchers in bed with China, warn GOP senators:

A group of Republican senators is warning that the Biden administration is preparing to amnesty researchers and scientists compromised by China and other foreign governments.

The proposed amnesty program would let academics and scientists who knowingly defrauded U.S. taxpayers disclose their crimes without worrying about prosecution, according to the office of Sen. Rob Portman, Ohio Republican.

Eight Republican senators, including Mr. Portman, wrote to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday that they learned the Justice Department was readying the amnesty program for those compromised by foreign powers in the “next few weeks.”

“We applaud federal prosecutors for bringing more than a dozen criminal cases against researchers and professors who allegedly stole intellectual property or failed to disclose partnerships with foreign governments, including with the People’s Republic of China (PRC),” the senators wrote. “We are concerned about the effect that this amnesty program will have on those ongoing criminal cases and the signal that it sends to future researchers contemplating breaking U.S. law to steal research or hide affiliations with foreign governments or militaries.” —>READ MORE HERE

Hundreds of U.S. Scientists Feared Compromised by China; National Institutes of Health Probing into over 500 Federally Funded Scientists for Foreign, China Ties:

More than 500 federally funded scientists are under investigation for being compromised by China and other foreign powers, the National Institutes of Health revealed Thursday.

The federal health officials told a Senate committee that they are fighting to keep up with large-scale Chinese efforts to corrupt American researchers and steal intellectual property that scientists hope will lead to biomedical advances.

NIH has contacted more than 90 institutions about more than 200 scientists they’re concerned about, said Dr. Michael S. Lauer, NIH deputy director for extramural research. But the investigations’ workload is weighing down the nation’s top medical research agency, and new cases are turning up constantly across the government. —>READ MORE HERE
