FBI Director Christopher Wray said his department previously concluded that the Covid-19 virus most likely originated from a “potential lab incident” in Wuhan, China, contradicting scientific claims that it emerged naturally like other previous outbreaks.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation tweeted an excerpt from Wray’s interview with Fox News on Tuesday night. His remarks follow reports that an Energy Department classified assessment determined that the virus was the result of a lab leak, although that conclusion was given a “low confidence” rating.
