President Trump Claims He Has Evidence the Coronavirus Originated in a Wuhan Lab

By admin On Apr 30, 2020

President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he has evidence showing that the coronavirus originated from a lab in Wuhan, China, but he can’t share it what it is.

Fox News reporter John Roberts asked Trump whether he has seen any evidence to date that gives him a “high degree of confidence” that the virus originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

“Yes, I have,” Trump said, before going on a tangent about the World Health Organization and accusing the group of being a “public relations agency for China.”

“They shouldn’t be making excuses when people make horrible mistakes,” Trump said. “Especially mistakes that are causing hundreds of thousands of people around the world to die. I think the World Health Organization should be ashamed of themselves.”

A few minutes later, Roberts pressed Trump again and asked whether he has conclusive evidence that the coronavirus is not a naturally occurring virus.

“You’re talking about the virus and where it came from?” Trump asked, to which Roberts replied in the affirmative.

Here was Trump’s response, verbatim:

“No, we’re going to see where it is. We’re going to see where it comes from. And you know, look, you know every theory. You had the theory from the lab, you had the theory from many different — the bats, the type of bat, and the bat is 40 miles away, so it couldn’t have been here and it couldn’t have been there, and we have a — there’s a lot of theories. But, yeah, we have people looking at it very very closely. Scientific people, intelligence people and others, and we’re going to put it all together and I think we’re going to have a very good answer eventually.”
