Politico: Biden: Intelligence community split on Covid-19 origin
The president said the U.S. intelligence community will “redouble” efforts to uncover the pandemic's beginnings.
President Joe Biden said Wednesday that the U.S intelligence community is split between two origin theories for the Covid-19 pandemic.
In a statement Wednesday, Biden notably did not detail the two theories between which the intelligence community is split. The president's statement did note that he had ordered a review of the pandemic's origins, "including whether it emerged from human contact with an infected animal or from a laboratory accident," but did not say whether either of those two scenarios were among the options considered to be "likely scenarios" by the intelligence community.
Biden said two elements of the intelligence community lean toward one scenario while another element of the community leans toward another, "each with low or moderate confidence." The remainder of the intelligence community, which Biden said constituted its majority, "do not believe there is sufficient information to assess one to be more likely than the other.”
