Trump contradicts US intel community-claims he's seen evidence coronavirus originated in Chinese lab

[spanone]

Washington (CNN) - President Donald Trump contradicted a rare on-the-record statement from his own intelligence community by claiming Thursday that he has seen evidence that gives him a "high degree of confidence" the novel coronavirus originated in a laboratory in Wuhan, China, but declined to provide details to back up his assertion.

The comments undercut a public statement from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued just hours earlier which stated no such assessment has been made and continues to "rigorously examine" whether the outbreak "began through contact with infected animals or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan."

"Yes, I have," Trump said when asked whether he's seen evidence that would suggest the virus originated in the lab. Later, asked why he was confident in that assessment, Trump demurred.

"I can't tell you that. I'm not allowed to tell you that," he said.

5. As I understand it there were ambassadorial cables in 2017/18

That warned about a lab in Wuhan studying bat corona virus in a very sloppy and lax safety environment. In no way, shape or form defending trumpleforeskin, but this may be what his handlers are telling him about.
