FBI Director Christopher Wray Confirms FBI’s Assessment of Covid-19 as Likely Result of Laboratory Incident in Wuhan, China

FBI Director Christopher Wray has confirmed that the FBI has assessed that the Covid-19 pandemic is most likely the result of a laboratory incident in Wuhan, China. This comes just days after the Department of Energy released a “low-confidence” assessment of the same theory.

In an exclusive interview with Fox News, Wray said that the FBI has been assessing the lab-leak theory for some time. He also noted that the FBI has a team of agents, professionals, analysts, virologists, and microbiologists who are dedicated to researching the origins of the virus.

CNN reported in 2021 that the FBI had “moderate confidence” in the lab-leak theory. Wray went further in his interview, claiming that the virus was likely an accidental leak of a virus designed to kill Americans.

The comments from Wray come at a time when the US government is divided on the origin of the virus. While the majority of the government has been leaning towards the lab-leak theory, some have been pushing for further investigation into the possibility of a natural origin.

The FBI’s assessment of the lab-leak theory is an important step in understanding the origin of the virus. It is unclear what further steps the US government will take to investigate the origin of the virus, but it is clear that the FBI is taking the lab-leak theory seriously.
