In an interview on Tuesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray stated that there is secret information to support the bureau’s opinion that a laboratory in Wuhan, China, is to blame for the COVID pandemic outbreak.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the Department of Energy has determined that the epidemic was caused by a Chinese lab breach, which led to Wray’s comments.
Bret Baier of Fox News asked about the FBI’s conclusion, to which Wray responded, “the FBI has judged that the roots of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab disaster in Wuhan for quite some time now.”
“The FBI has agents, experts, analysts, virologists, microbiologists, etc. who concentrate specifically on the risks of biological threats, which would include things such as novel viruses, like COVID, and the worries that they could fall into the wrong hands, some bad men, a hostile nation-state, a terrorist, or a criminal. The dangers those might present.”

“So, you’re speculating about a possible leak from a lab run by the Chinese government which killed millions of Americans. And that’s exactly what that skill was made for,” said Wray. “I should also mention that we are still working on this, and the information I can offer is mostly classified. I’ll only point out that it appears to me that the Chinese government has been making every effort to obstruct and confuse this work. The job that we, the U.S. government, and our close international allies are doing. And that is regrettable for everyone.”
