The US Department of Energy likely believes that the coronavirus has a lab origin.
Findings from the US Department of Energy indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic likely occurred due to the leakage of the coronavirus from Chinese laboratories.
The Wall Street Journal, citing a classified report from the US National Intelligence Agency, which has been made available to the White House and Congress, reported that the Department of Energy has placed its new assessment alongside the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which had previously presented a similar assessment.
Four other US intelligence agencies still believe that the spread of the coronavirus occurred naturally.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has not yet been able to reach conclusions regarding the origin of the virus.
