WASHINGTON (REUTERS): FBI director Christopher Wray said on Tuesday (Feb 28) that the agency has assessed that a leak from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, likely caused the Covid-19 pandemic.

"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 told Fox News.
