Biden Administration Suppressed COVID-19 Lab Leak Evidence from FBI, DIA, Says WSJ
Dec 26, 2024, 07:50 PM
Recent reports indicate that the Biden administration suppressed evidence regarding the origins of COVID-19, specifically the lab leak theory. According to a Wall Street Journal investigation, key members of the U.S. intelligence community, including scientists from the FBI and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), had assessed that COVID-19 likely originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, due to risky gain-of-function research. However, this information was reportedly not shared with President Biden during his briefings. Jason Bannan, a former senior FBI scientist, revealed that he was prepared to present this evidence but was blocked from doing so. The investigation suggests that the Biden administration prioritized the natural origins theory and marginalized those who supported the lab leak hypothesis. This has raised concerns about a broader cover-up within the intelligence community, with implications for public trust in government institutions.
