CIA whistleblower claims agency ‘bribed’ its OWN analysts to claim COVID did NOT come from Wuhan: Explosive Republican report reveals broader cover-up of virus origins
A CIA whistleblower recently told Congress that the agency bribed its own analysts to say Covid-19 did not come from a Wuhan lab, according to two Republicans.
According to a current senior agency officer, the CIA assigned seven agents to a Covid discovery team. At the end of their investigation, six of the seven people believed the intelligence indicated an unreliable assessment that Covid-19 came from a laboratory.
The seventh member, the oldest on the team, thought it evolved naturally. The other six then received “a significant financial incentive to change their position,” according to the whistleblower.
Reps. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, and Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, who lead the Intelligence and Covid committees respectively, wrote a letter Tuesday to CIA Director William Burns demanding all documents on the subject.
Lawmakers set a Sept. 26 deadline for the CIA to turn over all records involving the COVID discovery team and all communications with the FBI, the State Department, Health and Human Services, the Department of Energy on this subject.

The Department of Energy, which oversees biological research laboratories in the United States, concluded with “low confidence” in February this year that the virus most likely originated in a laboratory in Wuhan. The FBI concluded the same thing with moderate confidence.
