FBI Director Christopher Wray said Tuesday that Covid likely escaped from a laboratory in China, issuing the first public opinion of the sort from the agency on the origins of the virus that plagued the world for over two years.
The FBI had been investigating the question for months. Wray said that the Chinese regime has been attempting to “thwart and obfuscate” that inquiry.
The bureau reportedly arrived at the conclusion regarding Covid’s source in 2021, but this is the first time Wray has publicly made the statement confirming the FBI’s acceptance of the lab-leak hypothesis. A declassified intelligence report released in November 2021 previously revealed that the FBI concluded with “moderate confidence” that the pandemic began with a “laboratory accident” following a 90-day review ordered by President Biden.
Recently, the Department of Energy determined that Covid likely stemmed from a laboratory mishap, according to a classified intelligence report included in an update to a 2021 document by Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines’s office.

Wong! Bat soup in Mahler. Not Rab Reek.
Trump way ahead of Mr. Wray on this one.
They’ve been all over the board on this. First it was the lab. No, it came from the meat market naturally. Then it was a naturally evolved virus. No it was definitely manmade and engineered. No, it’s not. Yes, it is. Back and forth. Then they have the chutzpah to say follow the science. More like follow the money.
after three years of lying, time for a ‘plausible, limited, hangout.’
Note how they WEAPONIZE the release of critical information.
In this case, this information is released IMMEDIATELY after our threatening China for looking like they’re going to help Russia with Ukraine (and China telling us to F-off).
...which makes me wonder, now, whether they really think it was a lab leak, or just a convenient way to bash China.
What was his first clue?
We all knew it. Gawd leftists are stoopid.
They waited until the Democrats are in charge, and when they're mad at China.
There were pictures from day one of poor maintenance in the Wuhan lab. Broken seals on equipment. Things that are inherently dangerous in a BL4 lab. It’s the only level 4 lab China has, it’s where they would work on hot zone bugs. This was never a hard call.
The people insisting it couldn’t have originated in the laboratory were simply covering for China. Every American firm operating there wants to curry favor with the CCP more than they want to be honest. Telling the truth could cost them money or access. Spouting China’s party line keeps them rolling in Yuan.
And Fauxi paid 18 million bucks to a Brit virologist to change his Tune about
Bat Soup.
Dr. KRISTIAN ANDERSON Got rich
In a matter of HOURS . R
FBI Director says what we all knew 3 years ago, but finally says it because his monitors gave him permission to say it... How bout we rip the scab off and get to a position where we can believe anything coming out of the mouth of any public official.
Wray also said there was no link between the FBI and social media. I’d like to see if he would say the same thing under oath...
Trump was right again!
Most likely, possible, maybe, there is some evidence, there is a consensus, lying sacks of dog doo
National Review buys a clue.
Now when is he going to admit his agent provocateurs incited, invited and led the J6 protesters into the Capitol to entrap them?
The DOE and FBI have effectively “admitted” that China is responsible for releasing COVID-19. I’m sorry, but China is NOT the responsible party, and these two federal agencies are lying.
I’m glad the truth that COVID-19 emerged from the Wuhan lab has gained such broad public acceptance that these federal agencies could no longer keep it silent, but China did not run the Wuhan lab. The United States did.
