U.S-Mike Pompeo states ‘significant’ evidence that COVID-19 emerged from Chinese lab

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Sunday there was “a significant amount of evidence” that the new coronavirus emerged from a Chinese laboratory, but did not dispute U.S. intelligence agencies’ conclusion that it was not man-made, Reuters reported.

There is a significant amount of evidence that this came from that laboratory in Wuhan,” Pompeo told ABC’s “This Week,”.

The best experts so far seem to think it was man-made. I have no reason to disbelieve that at this point,” Pompeo said. When the interviewer pointed out that was not the conclusion of U.S. intelligence agencies, Pompeo backtracked, saying: “I’ve seen what the intelligence community has said. I have no reasonto believe that they’ve got it wrong.”
