Whistleblower Claims Biden Admin Suppressed Evidence Supporting COVID-19 Lab Leak Theory
Scientists allege intelligence findings favoring a lab origin for COVID-19 were excluded from briefings to President Biden and Congress.
- Defense Intelligence Agency scientists reportedly found strong evidence suggesting COVID-19 was engineered in a lab but were silenced by intelligence officials.
- Key findings, including a lab-made spike protein and early vaccine developments in China, were excluded from a 2021 intelligence briefing to President Biden.
- The FBI, the only agency to conclude with moderate confidence that a lab leak was the likely origin, was not invited to the briefing.
- A Wall Street Journal investigation revealed efforts by Biden administration officials to suppress lab leak evidence and promote a natural origin theory.
- The alleged suppression has prompted calls for a reexamination of the intelligence community's handling of COVID-19 origin investigations.
