Trump Has ‘Very Little Doubt’ That Coronavirus Originated From Wuhan Lab

As more and more people point fingers at China for the origin of coronavirus pandemic, former President Donald Trump says that he has “very, very little doubt” Covid-19 originated at a Wuhan laboratory.

Trump was a guest for the inaugural episode of a new radio program, "The Dan Bongino Show," on Monday.

During the show, they talked about the potential origin of coronavirus, reported Washington Examiner.

“Did you say ‘potential?' I don’t know, I think you could get the word ‘potential’ out,” Trump quipped.

“You said ‘potential’ that it came from the lab. I think you can take the word ‘potential’ out that it came from the lab, frankly. I think it came from the lab without the word ‘potential’ … I have very little doubt...and I mean very, very little doubt. It came from the lab," he added.

While Trump officials and Republican leaders believe in the theory that the virus escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a World Health Organization-China report said that a jump from animals to humans was most likely the case.

Trump's comments comes after the Wall Street Journal published an article that claimed a “previously undisclosed US intelligence report” said that “three researchers from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology became sick enough in November 2019 that they sought hospital care.”

Meanwhile, talking about this report, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said that it was “totally untrue," reported TheJournal.ie. He said that, according to a statement from the institute, it “had not been exposed to Covid-19 before Dec. 30, 2019, and a “zero-infection” record is kept among its staff and graduate students so far."

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is one of those who are "convinced" that the virus leaked from the Wuhan lab, reported Fox News.

"We need to know what happened here. The Chinese Communist Party knows what happened here. They know who patient zero was. They know precisely where this began. These three individuals who became sick, the symptoms were consistent with what someone would get that would be symptomatic of if they had Covid-19 the Wuhan virus," he said.

He also warned that without getting "to the bottom of this" a similar pandemic "could happen again."

"They are still conducting research in these same laboratories today. It's being done in ways that were similar to what happened back over a year ago. This is dangerous, we could end up with something much like this again being foisted upon the world," he said.
