Republicans call for release of intelligence related to the origins of COVID-19 coming from a possible lab leak following FBI Director Wray confirming it was the 'most likely' origin.
"Glad to see [FBI] Dir. Wray finally coming forward w/ info regarding their assessment that #COVID19 leaked from a #Wuhan laboratory," Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., wrote on Twitter.
"I’ve been pushing for them to share this info with the American public for months but [the Office of the Director of National Intelligence] has been holding it back. WE NEED FULL TRANSPARENCY!" he added. During a House China Select Committee hearing Tuesday, former deputy national security adviser Matthew Pottinger, who served under former President Donald Trump, was asked to respond to Wray's admission.
"Well, I think that we know for certain that the Chinese military is involved in research into coronaviruses," Pottinger said."We know that they were experimenting using U.S. technology, by the way, to work on chimeric viruses. That is, ones that had been engineered."
