Trump contradicts US intel community by claiming he's seen evidence coronavirus originated in Chinese lab
"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.
"I can't tell you that. I'm not allowed to tell you that," he said.
And beside sounding like McCarthy, since when has Trump ever admitted that anyone can say what he isn't allowed to do?
