Biden State Department quietly shut down team probing COVID origin
Fox News
The Biden State Department shut down an inquiry into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic that was investigating whether the virus stemmed from a leak out of the Wuhan Lab of Virology, Fox News has confirmed.
A State Department official told Fox News that Secretary of State Antony Blinken did not disband any cell looking into the origins of COVID-19, and that the department only employed a single contractor who was conducting research on several topics – including coronavirus. That contractor, according to the official, left the State Department before Blinken’s confirmation. The official said the inquiry was closed amid concerns about methodology. The Biden administration’s investigation into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic is currently being led out of the White House National Security Council.More Related News
