FBI Director Chris Wray during an interview on Tuesday with Fox News said, “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’s statement follows the recent Department of Energy “low confidence” assessment that the COVID-19 pandemic originated from an accidental lab leak of the virus. Despite two Federal agencies releasing similar findings, some U.S. politicians are still unwilling to acknowledge a Chinese lab as the source of COVID-19. In the early days of the pandemic, many claimed that COVID-19 emerged from a Wuhan “wet market” where animals are sold, despite the fact that no host animal was ever found.
