The COVID-19 epidemic was "most likely" brought on by an incident in a Wuhan, China, laboratory, as per FBI Director Christopher Wray on Tuesday.
“The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan,” Wray said in an interview with Fox News.
