The stunning assertion by the US Energy Department comes more than a year after the FBI concluded a lab accident in China was the origin of the disease.

The FBI’s decision was made with “moderate confidence” and remains the bureau’s opinion,By contrast, the Department of Energy made its determination with “low confidence,” sources who’ve read the classified report told the Journal.

Both agencies reportedly arrived at their conclusions for different reasons, with the sources declining to detail the new intelligence cited by the Energy Department. “Here’s what I can tell you: President Biden has directed, repeatedly, every element of our intelligence community to put effort and resources behind getting to the bottom of this question,” Sullivan told CNN’s ““And if we gain any further insight or information, we will share it with Congress, and we will share it with the American people. But right now, there is not a definitive answer that has emerged from the intelligence community on this question.

MSNBC should be dissolved and Chris Hayes should be ARRESTED!

NoleInBama No shit

Wake up America. Wake up WORLD!

NO SHIT IT WAS OBVIOUS FROM BEGINING .....

You guys can get your news 3 years earlier by following zerohedge NY Post is such a rag

Is that the lab or a Google stock picture

Fake news, they corrected it already.

It took that long to figure out?

You’re just NOW figuring that out!!

Biden will disagree

In their defense, the US Energy Department is still on Internet Explorer.

US Energy Department is in charge of virus business ?

This isn't news. The 'conspiracy theorists' said that from the beginning.

No shit Sherlock.

Energy department…..

Why the Energy Department?

Wuhan in China leaked the virus of covid-19,,, The world must have claimed the heavy compensation from China by International Court of Justice,,,Otherwise capture all the Chinese property from your own country,,,

Imagine that

And here I thought it was just a coincidence the Wuhan lab was located in the city the virus originated.

that's not quite what the report actually said. LOL

DUH

Add that to the list of things Fauci was completely wrong about!

Duh…..

Time for Chinese to pay compensation.

Ugh bats...

Oh. Huh. Funny, that.

So... fort derrick then? Alright.

What? Not a guy eating some bat stew?

WE ALREADY KNEW THIS! Why now? Remember this yet he was labeled a racist tho'.

Shocker!!! Isn’t that what PRESIDENT TRUMP has said ALL along!!!

But but settled science

Why isn't Anthony Fauci being interrogated for withholding this information from the public?

You mean an American biolab. The same as the 36 biolabs in Ukraine.

Wow great journalism. Two years later

The timing of this is no coincidence. Lots of pull to get China into (the Ukraine) war.

It's really your beliefs if witness someone crossing the street and gets hit by a bus and dies instantly and the ED says he died of Covid-19 who's fault is it Covid-19 or the bus 🚌.something to think 🤔 about. the government the FBI our leader you can't believe everything T.Y.H.

This isn’t news we’ve known this all along.. now let’s actually get them to admit it and do something about it..

Since we have the Chinese balloon, can we now call this the China virus ?

Once again, those who were called conspiracy kooks are proven right.

Oh Trump was right then, got it.

Now just admit it was the west that leaked it

🥴

How many people died 🙏and trillions of dollars they owe the entire world!

We need to fully move away from anything China.

3 years late on that obvious info. Derp

Huh. No shit…

Is trump the only one in your country that knows what’s going on and tells the truth ?

what a racist tweet! right guys!?!? I’m a big city libtard!!

Reary ?!!?

That’s racist to claim this is a china virus!

Racist!!

I’m a moron and I knew this😂

What does DoE know and how are they involved

Wuhan virus institute was less than 100 miles away and tested on every type of Coronavirus. They were also injecting the mice with human receptors to see how the virus reacted. But it came outta nowhere , just like that ballon a few weeks ago😭😭

it was madona she eats babies

Remind us of this fact several years ago.

My son did say it was from a china lab because he found it hard to believe it could have come from just one animal when the Chinese have been eating these animals for decades . I think everything Donald Trump did say about China is all coming true anyway , if I remember . 😷 💉💉

Fully Intentional

I think I can speak for so many when I say- no sh$t

Wow, it's almost exactly like we were told by trump and his administration 🤔🤔🤔

I guess trump was right when he called it the Chinese virus and everyone got on him

Democrats right now

Wait, fat face nicole wallace said that was a conspiracy theory!

You’re joking right? Raise your hand if this is really old news and you’ve known it since day one 😂😂😂

made in China

The real truth: don't worry you are almost there...

Imagine my surprise

China should pay trillions in reparations to the rest of the world…can you imagine how we’d be crucified if something like COVID came from a US lab

Some of us said this 3 years ago. But we are conspiracy theorists. Add this to the list of “we were right”

We need reparations from China!

But…that’s not what Fauci said!!😉

You know what's amazing that Fauci's wife is the head of bioethics at the NIH, wouldn't that be a conflict of interest.

I don’t believe it was unintentional. 1st knowing now about the CORRUPT FBI, we will never believe what they say 2nd we know NANCY PELOSI just returned from China on the cusp of this outbreak. Not a coincidence! . 3rd the VACCINE WAS WAITING to be used since patented in 2015.

I knew it all along

100% TRUMP WAS RIGHT!

US Energy Department knows less what's going on than a lot of Americans. Maybe they should disband the office. COVID started in US in gain for function clinic funded by Fauci, and then Obama said it violated international law so Fauci paid Chinese lab over a million to continue.

So you’re all figuring it out now are you?

Truth will come to light.. slowly but surely.

Because the DOE is full of medical forensic scientists, right? Go peddle your filth elsewhere. I hear Truth Social has an appetite for your crap.

and no consequences for that lying narcissist Fauci or evil China

So strange! Everyone already knew this in April2020! So can we call it the Chyna virus yet?

Remember when we weren’t allowed to say this?

They need to pay up!

Do not understand the source of info being US Department of Energy

energy department tho?

Noooo shitttt

We know this already trump told us thats why its the China virus.

jv18121 So NOW can we call it China Virus? It’ll be a remind for future generations that China gov is not to be trusted. (PS- Facts aren’t racist).

But let's believe the media and Biden Administration now...

We’ve known this.

no, not likely, it was the Wuhan lab.

um, define 'low confidence'

'Low Confidence', like us in your reporting. 🖕

Not true.

Shocker! Trump was right, again, blowing all the Liberal’s minds.

No shits

Bollocks !

This cant possibly be! shocker

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Gee wiz

This is just an article that claims 'likely' this or that happened. That's not proof of anything. We don't even have a 'validated' test for the thing that 'leaked.'

No fucking shit

Saw this on the other Murdock rag.

Really

my younger & only sister died for this ! How many of us on this world is angered that we untimely lost our loved ones !

Old news.

Try typing in Viral Infectious Disease into FB. Immediate 30 day jail sentence. Better yet try typing in, China Lied. People died. Bejing must pay, and Fauci is responsible for weaponizing it.

Too slow

Remember when we were banned on all social media for saying this?

Everyone-knows-except-the-Dem-supporters-or-Biden

How the hell we had energy department find this info!

No way 🙄

Yeah, but why is the energy department in this fight?

Breaking: sun will probably rise somewhere tomorrow. Breaking

Duh.

Highly unlikely since it’s the CDC’s job to trace the origins of outbreaks and NOT the Energy Dept.

Not surprising that all the right wing sh*trags looking for more ways to be anti-science and xenophobic are pumping this type of headline out. DOE holds a minority opinion on this among US agencies, and even they deem this to be low probability.

'likely'

Did you already know that?

Anyone who ever thought otherwise seriously needs to reevaluate everything about themselves
