Whistleblower alleges CIA offered officials money to change view of COVID origins
- A new whistleblower testimony claims that the CIA tried to pay off analysts to change their assessment that COVID-19 originated from a lab in Wuhan, China. The CIA allegedly offered the analysts monetary incentives to make a low confidence assessment that the virus jumped from animals to humans.
- The US intelligence community, including the FBI and Energy Department, has expressed concerns about a lab leak as the cause of the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan. The FBI was the first to establish the possibility of a lab leak, while the Energy Department deemed it plausible.
- The whistleblower also states that six out of seven members of the assessment team believed that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan. These members were allegedly given a significant monetary incentive to change their position and create uncertainty regarding the origins of the virus.
