Something for the GOP House’s CCP and “weaponization” committees to actually investigate with respect to the Trump White House COVID incompetence. Likely this bit of FoxNews disinformation is meant to draw attention from Rupert’s 2020 Trumpian collusion with Kushner.
FBI Director Chris Wray says the FBI believes Covid probably originated from a "potential lab incident" in Wuhan, but that the Chinese government has tried to "thwart and obfuscate" the agency's ongoing probe.
FBI Director Chris Wray said Tuesday that Beijing has stymied efforts by the U.S. and others to investigate the origins of the coronavirus.
In an interview with Fox News, Wray said the FBI believes Covid probably originated from a "potential lab incident" in Wuhan, but that the Chinese government has essentially interfered with the agency's ongoing probe.
"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 told Fox News host Bret Baier.
“I will just make the observation that the Chinese government, it seems to me, has been doing its best to try to thwart and obfuscate the work here, the work that we’re doing, the work that our U.S. government and close foreign partners are doing, and that's unfortunate for everybody,” Wray added.
The Chinese Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The director's comments come after the U.S. Energy Department concluded with “low confidence” that the Covid pandemic “likely” originated from a laboratory leak in Wuhan, according to a classified report delivered to key lawmakers on the House and Senate Intelligence committees.
The lawmakers were briefed on the report last month by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, two sources told NBC News on Sunday. The news was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
