US Department of Energy: the coronavirus pandemic began, most likely due to a laboratory leak

The US Department of Energy has concluded that the coronavirus pandemic most likely began due to a laboratory leak. The Wall Street Journal writes about the conclusions reached by the department, referring to a classified report presented to the White House and a narrow circle of US congressmen.

Earlier, as the WSJ recalls, the FBI adhered to a similar version.

Meanwhile, other US federal agencies believe the virus is of natural origin.
