Trump says he’s ‘not allowed’ to say why he’s confident that the novel coronavirus originated at Wuhan Institute of Virology

In an exchange with reporters Thursday, Trump said he has seen evidence that links the novel coronavirus to the Wuhan Institute of Virology — although he claimed he’s “not allowed” to say what the evidence is.

“Have you seen anything at this point that gives you a high degree of confidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was the origin of this virus?” a reporter asked Trump at the White House after an event on senior citizens.

“Yes, I have. Yes, I have,” Trump replied, before going on to claim that the World Health Organization “should be ashamed of themselves, because they’re like the public relations agency for China.”

At the event, Trump was repeatedly pressed on the origins of the coronavirus. At one point, he told a reporter, “We’re going to see where it comes from.” He later said: “There’s a lot of theories. But yeah, we have people looking at it very, very strongly.”

When asked what gives him confidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology is where the virus originated, Trump demurred.
“I’m not allowed to tell you that,” he said.

Trump’s remarks come as the White House has increasingly sought to blame China for the pandemic and divert attention away from the Trump administration’s own missteps.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued a statement earlier Thursday declaring that it “concurs with the wide scientific consensus that the covid-19 virus was not man-made or genetically modified.”

But it added that the intelligence community “will continue to rigorously examine emerging information and intelligence to determine whether the outbreak began through contact with infected animals or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan.”

So what's the story here? Trump saying largely what The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is saying.

Life can be much better.

It could’ve easily come from the lab AND not be man made or genetically modified.

What a stupid article.

“Trump’s remarks come as the White House has increasingly sought to blame China for the pandemic and divert attention away from the Trump administration’s own missteps.”

Gee, maybe he’s blaming China because they’re the dumb fucks that set it loose and lied about it, then had their bitch, the WHO, downplay it.

Wishing and Hopin g j66- wait for nov - but likely the only remedy for U and ur WaPo will be Jan 2025.


Or, perhaps your water buffalo candidate Stacy Abrams fits into your idea of POTUS - after Biden can no longer speak a cogent sentence in 2021???

Biden can’t speak a cogent sentence now.

Please respond - how do U opine about Stacy Abrams as DPST Water buffalo in Chief????

That's strange Trump usually speaks his mind on everything else, but not about the origin of the Virus. I wonder what Chinese Virologists were doing in that Lab that Trump can't talk about.
