Former National Intelligence Director John Radcliffe testified that he believes the lab leak theory is the only possible explanation for what triggered the global Covid pandemic.

Last month, FBI Director Christopher Ray said Covid-19 most likely came from a Chinese lab in Wuhan.

In addition to Radcliffe’s assessment – the former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs also testified.

The Chinese embassy is not happy with the proceedings and has urged the subcommittee’s chair to stop targeting China in its pursuit for the truth.

The hearing comes amid a new Senate Republican report raises the possibility that there were two separate lab leaks from the Chinese lab conducting risky gain of function research back in 2019.

According to the World Health Organisation, COVID-19 took the lives of more than 1.1 million Americans since January 2020.
