Biden Orders US Intel To Further Probe Origins Of COVID-19, Raise ‘Questions For China’

President Joe Biden said Wednesday he is ordering U.S. intelligence agencies to “redouble their efforts” to investigate the origins of COVID-19, including “specific questions for China.”

Biden said an initial report he asked for earlier this month on whether the virus came from human contact with an infected animal or from a lab incident in China was inconclusive, so he’s asking for a second report in 90 days to “bring us closer to a definitive conclusion.”

“As of today, the U.S. Intelligence Community has ‘coalesced around two likely scenarios’ but has not reached a definitive conclusion on this question,” Biden said in a statement. “Here is their current position: ‘while two elements in the IC leans toward the former scenario and one leans more toward the latter – each with low or moderate confidence – the majority of elements do not believe there is sufficient information to assess one to be more likely than the other.'”

Biden’s directive is a significant change in how the White House is dealing with the theory the virus might have originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology — one elevated last year by former President Donald Trump, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and other hawkish Republicans.
