New and unexamined U.S. intelligence prompted President Joe Biden to order a full review of the origins of COVID-19 last week and to report back of their findings in 90 days.
“As part of that report, I have asked for areas of further inquiry that may be required, including specific questions for China. I have also asked that this effort include work by our National Labs and other agencies of our government to augment the Intelligence Community’s efforts. And I have asked the Intelligence Community to keep Congress fully apprised of its work,” Biden said in a statement Wednesday.
“The failure to get our inspectors on the ground in those early months will always hamper any investigation into the origin of COVID-19,” Biden added.
National Labs is a collection of 17 research facilities that are under the Department of Energy.
