The comments undercut a public statement fromthe Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued just hours earlier which stated no such assessment has been made and continues to "rigorously examine" whether the outbreak "began through contact with infected animals or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan."You don't have to take it from CNN. CBS, BBC, Reuters, the Wall Street Journal and others have pieces on how the Trump administration is on a witch hunt for political purposes. As Daniel Russel, the State Department's top Asia adviser until early in Trump's term tweeted,
the origin from a lab accident has not been ruled out.
and CNN is not your friend for objective news. Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

The administration is looking at additional tariffs on China. It's even discussing canceling U.S. government debt held by the Chinese -- Hopefully LustyLad, uh, Steve Mnuchin, sorry, will keep that from happening.
The witch hunt has now extended to the University of Texas. The Feds are investigating the University's work with the Wuhan virology lab, as well as ties the UT System may have with the Chinese Communist Party, Huawei, and Eric Yuan (Chinese-American CEO of Zoom Video Communications) among others. They're looking into Chinese ties that Harvard, Yale and other universities may have too. (from WSJ)
