The U.S. government still has not reached a consensus on how the coronavirus pandemic started, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters Monday — despite news reports that the Energy Department has concluded the virus most likely leaked from a lab in China.
“The intelligence community and the rest of the government is still looking at this,” Kirby said. “There’s not been a definitive conclusion, so it’s difficult for me to say — nor should I feel like I should have to defend press reporting about a possible preliminary indication here. What the president wants is facts.
The Energy Department declined Monday to comment on the article, saying through a spokesperson: “The Department of Energy continues to support the thorough, careful, and objective work of our intelligence professionals in investigating the origins of COVID-19, as the President directed.”said a “variety of views” existThe investigation is a full government effort and not led by one agency, Kirby said.
“The president made trying to find the origins of Covid a priority right when he came into office and he has a whole government effort designed to do that,” Kirby said during a White House press briefing Monday. “There is not a consensus right now in the U.S. government about exactly how Covid started.”When the information is available, the administration will brief Congress and the American people, he said.
