Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, says the Biden administration should declassify classified documents showing that scientists at the Department of Energy believe COVID-19 leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClassified documents leaked (they should be declassified!) showing scientists at DOE believe COVID leaked from Wuhan Lab,\u201d Paul tweeted on Monday, circulating a Wall Street Journal story published over the weekend reporting the Energy Department has concluded the COVID pandemic likely came from a lab leak. \u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The Journal reported the Energy Department concluded the pandemic arouse from a mishap at a Chinese lab based on new intelligence. It matches the FBI\u2019s conclusion from a 2021 analysis that the pandemic originated from a lab leak. \u00a0The Energy Department study reportedly offered the conclusion with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/02\/26\/us\/politics\/china-lab-leak-coronavirus-pandemic.html\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/02\/26\/us\/politics\/china-lab-leak-coronavirus-pandemic.html\">low confidence<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>The U.S. intelligence community is split on the conclusion that the deadly virus leaked from a Chinese lab. Four other federal agencies believe that it likely jumped to humans from an animal host outside a lab. Those findings are also reportedly made with low confidence.<\/p>\n<p>The Central Intelligence Agency hasn\u2019t\u00a0made\u00a0a judgment on whether the virus sprung from a lab or naturally from another animal host.<\/p>\n<p>Paul is not the only U.S. senator pushing to see the intelligence and make it public.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) said on Sunday that he will introduce legislation to declassify intelligence findings about the likely origin of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in more than 1 million deaths in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe American people deserve the full truth about #COVID origins. No more whitewash. I will again introduce legislation to make the U.S. government\u2019s intelligence reports on COVID more open to the public,\u201d Hawley tweeted. \u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The Journal reported that the Department of Energy and the FBI concluded that the pandemic started from a lab leak for different reasons. The Central Intelligence Agency hasn\u2019t make a judgment on whether the virus sprung from a lab or naturally from another animal host. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wuhan, which is located about 500 miles west of Shanghai, is home to the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the Wuhan Institute of Biological Products. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chinese authorities in 2021 refused to cooperate with a World Health Organization effort to study the possibility that COVID-19 leaked from a lab. \u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Zeng Yixin, the vice minister of China\u2019s National Health Commission, has dismissed the possibility that COVID originated in a Chinese lab. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
