The COVID-19 pandemic was likely started by a leak from a Chinese lab, FBI Director Christopher Wray said Tuesday.
““The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan.” ”
“The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan,” Wray said in an interview with Fox News that aired Tuesday. “Here you are talking about a potential leak from a Chinese government-controlled lab.” Wray’s comments followed a report Sunday by the Wall Street Journal that the U.S. Energy Department has concluded with “low confidence” that the COVID-19 virus escaped from a Chinese lab, a shift from its previously undecided assessment. In that report, the Journal said the FBI also believed, with “moderate confidence,” that the virus had escaped from a lab in China.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan told CNN on Sunday that U.S. intelligence agencies have not come to a single conclusion about the origin of the pandemic that has killed nearly 7 million people worldwide, including more than 1 million Americans, according to Johns Hopkins data.
