The District of Columbia has refused to provide answers to Congress on the deaths of five premie-sized babies recovered from a Washington, D.C., abortion clinic, Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy said in a Thursday letter — including whether or not they’ve preserved the baby bodies as evidence.

In a letter first obtained by The Daily Wire, Roy accuses Attorney General Merrick Garland, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, and Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith of a “lackluster investigation into the five aborted children, also know as the DC Five, whose remains were discovered at the Washington Surgi-Clinic in March 2022 by pro-life advocates.” The babies were reportedly aborted by D.C. abortionist Cesare Santangelo, and their bodies have been in the medical examiner’s possession for over two years.

Pro-life groups believe that the babies were aborted in violation of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act or the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act. Thus far, authorities have shown no interest in investigating the babies’ deaths, and since there are no laws restricting abortions in the nation’s capitol, D.C. authorities have previously said that the babies were aborted in accordance with D.C. law.
