Congress accuses China of "obfuscating the facts" about the origin of COVID

Reporting on different versions of the origin of the covid-19 pathogenUS departments, House Intelligence Committee Democrat Jim Hymes admitted:for a clear picture of this "too few facts"

CHINA continues to obstruct attempts to find out the origin of the CORONAVIRUS, Democrat Jim Hymes, a member of the US House Intelligence Committee , said on NBC News.

“We have so few facts because the Chinese regime is confusing them. <...> We have so few facts that inevitably different departments will come to different conclusions. And when the agency adjusts its interpretation slightly, as the Department of Energy may have done, it doesn't mean that the government suddenly has a strong point of view," the congressman said.

He noted that it could take a very long time before it is possible to thoroughly find out what actually happened.

Himes' opinion was shared by Republican Congressman Michael Turner, who pointed out that the United States "has no direct evidence and no recognition of China."

At the end of February, The Wall Street Journal wrote that the US Department of Energy, which oversees a network of national laboratories, considered the leak of the SARS-CoV-2 virus from a laboratory in Wuhan to be the likely cause of the pandemic. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is of the same opinion. But military intelligence questioned the hypothesis of its artificial origin.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry urged to stop discrediting the country and politicizing the issue of the origin of the pandemic.

In mid-February, the World HEALTH Organization suspended an investigation into the origin of the coronavirus due to China's actions. The organization called the possibility of leakage of SARS-CoV-2 minimal.
