In a stunning revelation, FBI Director Christopher Wray has publicly stated that the COVID-19 pandemic was most likely caused by a lab leak in Wuhan, China. Speaking to Fox News in an interview that aired on Tuesday, Wray stated that the FBI has been assessing the origins of the pandemic and the most likely scenario was a “potential leak from a Chinese government-controlled lab.”

These comments from Wray carry weight as he is one of the highest-ranking officials in the US government responsible for ensuring national security. Wray’s assessment of the origins of COVID-19 is significant because it contradicts the narrative put forward by the Chinese government, which has repeatedly denied any involvement in the pandemic’s origins.

Wray’s comments come on the heels of a Department of Energy assessment that also concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic was most likely caused by an accidental lab leak in China. This report was ordered by President Biden and is part of a broader push to investigate the origins of the pandemic.

The theory of a lab leak in Wuhan has been gaining traction in recent months, with increasing evidence pointing to the possibility of a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a lab in Wuhan that was studying bat coronaviruses. Despite this evidence, the Chinese government has vehemently denied any involvement in the pandemic’s origins and has been accused of actively obstructing investigations into the matter.

The revelation by Wray and the Department of Energy report are likely to increase pressure on the Chinese government to cooperate fully with investigations into the origins of the pandemic. It is unclear at this time what impact these developments will have on the broader relationship between the US and China, which has been strained in recent years due to a range of issues, including trade and national security concerns.
