Pompeo: ‘Enormous evidence’ connects coronavirus outbreak to Wuhan lab
(Worthy News) – Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he has seen “enormous evidence” indicating the coronavirus pandemic originated in the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.
Pompeo, who has been in his position since 2018 after serving as President Trump’s first CIA director, made the revelation on Sunday during a conversation with Martha Raddatz on ABC’s This Week, confirming there is evidence that the coronavirus came from the Wuhan lab in close proximity to many of the earliest known COVID-19 virus cases. Raddatz pressed Pompeo on whether he had a “high degree of confidence” that the coronavirus outbreak originated in a Wuhan lab.
“Martha, there’s enormous evidence that that’s where this began. We’ve said from the beginning that this was a virus that originated in Wuhan, China. We took a lot of grief for that from the outset, but I think the whole world can see now,” Pompeo said. “Remember, China has a history of infecting the world, and they have a history of running substandard laboratories. These are not the first times that we’ve had a world exposed to viruses as a result of failures in a Chinese lab.” [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
