Daily Mail UK: Trump Team Will Blame CCP for Wuhan Virus Release
America is set to present dramatic new evidence that the virus leaked from a Wuhan lab – in the final act of the Trump administration. Senior officials in Washington say that outgoing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is set to make a ‘bombshell intervention’. They say he will reveal evidence that SARS-CoV-2 did not leap naturally from bats, pangolins or other species to humans. Instead he will claim it was cultured by scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology – where Chinese and foreign experts have warned of poor bio-security for years. British Foreign Office and security sources confirmed they were expecting the claims from Washington but dismissed them in advance, saying ‘all the credible scientific evidence does not point to a leak from the laboratory’.
Yesterday Boris Johnson backed the theory the virus first infected humans at the Wuhan wet market, where pangolins were among the live species on offer. But Mr Pompeo is also set to cite close links between the Institute and the People’s Liberation Army. He will point out its highest security section has always had a ‘dual use’ military and civilian purpose. He is also expected to accuse the World Health Organisation of assisting in a Chinese cover-up by refusing to probe the lab’s possible role.
