Pompeo Says ‘Enormous Evidence’ Shows Coronavirus Began in Wuhan Lab, Blasts China
By New York Post. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said “enormous evidence” exists indicating the coronavirus pandemic began in a lab in Wuhan, China and that the ruling Communist Party did everything it could to keep the outbreak under wraps.
“There’s enormous evidence that that’s where this began. We’ve said from the beginning that this was a virus that originated in Wuhan, China. We took a lot of grief for that from the outset. But I think the whole world can see now,” he said on ABC News’ “This Week” on Sunday.
“Remember, China has a history of infecting the world, and they have a history of running substandard laboratories. These are not the first times that we’ve had a world exposed to viruses as a result of failures in a Chinese lab.” . . .
“China behaved like authoritarian regimes do, attempted to conceal and hide and confuse. It employed the World Health Organization as a tool to do the same. These are the kind of things that have now presented this enormous crisis, an enormous loss of life and tremendous economic cost, all across the globe,” Pompeo said.

Pompeo Blasts China for Suppressing Coronavirus Information, Call It a ‘Classic Communist Disinformation Effort’
By Fox News. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo laid harsh blame on China on Sunday for engaging in what he called a “classic Communist disinformation effort” and for working “to make sure the world didn’t learn in a timely fashion” about the coronavirus outbreak.
Pompeo told ABC’s “This Week” that the Chinese government “created enormous risk” by downplaying the outbreak and working to silence medical professionals and reporters as part of a campaign to limit the spread of the information about the contagion.
The COVID-19 outbreak was first reported late last year in the central Chinese city of Wuhan.
“We can confirm that the Chinese Communist Party did all that it could to make sure that the world didn’t learn in a timely fashion about what was taking place,” Pompeo said. “President Trump has been very clear. We’re going to hold those responsible accountable, and we’ll do so on a timeline that is our own.” (Read more from “Pompeo Blasts China for Suppressing Coronavirus Information, Call It a ‘Classic Communist Disinformation Effort'” HERE)
