Fox News host Tucker Carlson devoted segments on his shows on Wednesday and Thursday to promoting the conspiracy theory.
ABC News correspondents explain the implications of the U.S. downgrading Russia's trade status over its invasion of Ukraine.
"Frankly, this influence campaign is completely consistent with longstanding Russian efforts to accuse the United States of sponsoring bioweapons work in the former Soviet Union," U.S. Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines said Thursday during testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee."So this is a classic move by the Russians."
Milton Leitenberg, an arms control expert and senior research associate at the Center for International & Security Studies at the University of Maryland, noted that Russia has a long history of such disinformation. In the 1980s, Russian intelligence spread the conspiracy theory that the U.S. created HIV in a lab.
