#shorts On 2/27/2023, a reporter asked NSC Spox John Kirby, “First, has President Biden asked or does he plan to ask President Xi to cooperate and to — cooperate with investigations into the origins of the virus? Or at this point, does the administration believe that cooperation will not come from China?
MR. KIRBY: We’ve — we have — we have consistently made it clear that we want China’s full cooperation in a full, transparent way with the investigations into COVID, including when he met with President Xi in Bali just a couple of months ago.
John Kirby fielded questions from reporters in the White House press briefing room. Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked National Security Council spokesman Adm. John Kirb about the Wall Street Journal’s latest report on the origins of Covid-19. The US Energy Department came out and claimed that Covid was released from a lab. But no American entity has yet to claim that the release was intentional. “The new report highlights how different parts of the intelligence community have arrived at disparate judgments about the pandemic’s origin. The Energy Department now joins the Federal Bureau of Investigation in saying the virus likely spread via a mishap at a Chinese laboratory. Four other agencies, along with a national intelligence panel, still judge that it was likely the result of a natural transmission, and two are undecided.” – the Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend.
