Coronavirus: Mike Pompeo says 'significant evidence' COVID-19 came from Wuhan lab

US secretary of state Mike Pompeo says there is a “significant amount of evidence” that COVID-19 came from a laboratory in the Chinese city of Wuhan.
His comments come after US, UK and other intelligence agencies said they were investigating the possibility the virus had originated from a lab, among other theories.
During an interview with ABC’s This Week, Mr Pompeo said: “There is a significant amount of evidence that this came from that laboratory in Wuhan.
“The best experts so far seem to think it was man-made. I have no reason to disbelieve that at this point.”
When the interviewer pointed out that this was not the conclusion of US intelligence agencies, Pompeo quickly backtracked: “I’ve seen what the intelligence community has said. I have no reason to believe that they’ve got it wrong.”
Last week the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in the US said: “The Intelligence Community… concurs with the wide scientific consensus that the COVID-19 virus was not man-made or genetically modified.”
It comes after President Trump said he had seen evidence the virus originated in a Wuhan laboratory, but refused to give more detail.
