“We don’t have certainty, and there is significant evidence that this came from the laboratory. Those statements can both be true,” Pompeo said.
During a weekly press briefing, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called out a CBS News reporter for promulgating a false narrative that Trump officials made contradictory statements on the origins of the coronavirus. In his statements to reporters, Pompeo urged the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to provide transparency to the world regarding the origin of the coronavirus outbreak.
A CBS News reporter claims Pompeo, among other Trump officials, have made contradictory statements about the origins of the virus. Pompeo has stated repeatedly that transparency from the CCP is required in order to solve the global pandemic and understand the true origins of the virus.
“You said in multiple interviews on May 1st, April 30th, and other days some version of ‘we don’t know if the virus came from inside the lab in Wuhan.’ And then, on Sunday, you said there’s enormous evidence the virus came from inside the lab,” the CBS News reporter said.
