In an exclusive report, the Wall Street Journal has cited a classified intelligence report provided to the White House and members of Congress with bombshell, albeit unsurprising, information regarding the origins as COVID-19.

What the left and liberal media once lambasted as conservative propaganda or irresponsible suggestions by former President Trump, is indeed, factually true. The Energy Department has now concluded the COVID-19 pandemic likely began after an unintentional laboratory leak in China, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Last week, the Health and Human Services (HHS) Department released 900 pages of records to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic origin, according to an HHS official.

The Republican-led panel, headed by chairman Representative Brad Wenstrup from Ohio, requested “records from the agency, including from National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins, former White House COVID adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Beccera” reports CBS News.

CBS News reports:

The panel, which was previously controlled by Democrats, said it is probing whether COVID-19 originated from a lab in Wuhan, China and the Chinese Communist Party covered it up, as well as whether U.S. taxpayer dollars were being sent to the lab. 

The committee requested phone records, calendars and dozens of sets of internal records from top federal health officials. Though HHS did not specify what records it shared with the panel Tuesday evening, an agency spokesperson told CBS News, “The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is committed to working in good faith to address the Select Subcommittee’s oversight requests.”

China has responded defensively, stating Monday that studies into the origins of COVID-19 “should not be politicized” after a new assessment led to fresh scrutiny into a possible laboratory accident in late 2019 in the central Chinese city of Wuhan.

Mao Ning, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, pointed to the March 2021 findings of a joint WHO-China report that called the lab leak theory “extremely unlikely.” That verdict was “a science-based, authoritative conclusion,” she said at a regular press briefing in Beijing.

“Certain parties should stop rehashing the ‘lab leak’ narrative, stop smearing China and stop politicizing origin tracing,” Mao said after The Wall Street Journal and The New York Timesreported that the United States Department of Energy concluded, with “low confidence,” that SARS-CoV-2 had emerged as a result of a lab mishap.
