The FBI has assessed that a leak from a lab in the Chinese city of Wuhan likely caused the COVID pandemic, director Christopher Wray said, a claim China said had 'no credibility whatsoever.'
March 01, 2023
"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. Four other agencies, along with a national intelligence panel, still judge that the pandemic was likely the result of a natural transmission, and two are undecided, the Journal reported.
China denounced Wray's comments on Wednesday, saying it was firmly opposed to any form of"political manipulation" of the facts.
