The testimony,\u2062 provided by an\u200d anonymous and highly credible senior-level CIA official, alleges that six\u2062 members of the agency&#8217;s investigative team\u200c were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/highly-credible-whistleblower-cia-offered-six-analysts-hush-money-to-shut-them-up-about-covid-lab-leak\/\" title=\"CIA allegedly offered hush money to silence six analysts on Covid lab leak.\">offered hush \u2063money<\/a> to change \u2064their narrative on the virus.<\/p>\n<p>The Select\u2063 Subcommittee on the Coronavirus \u200cPandemic and\u2064 Permanent \u2063Select Committee on Intelligence, comprising \u2063U.S. House lawmakers, expressed their concerns about the matter. They revealed \u200bthat\u200d the six\u2063 officers, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cia-whistleblower-alleges-federal-agency-paid-covid-discovery-team-to-alter-wuhan-lab-findings\/\" title=\"CIA whistleblower claims agency paid COVID discovery team to manipulate Wuhan lab findings.\">possessed significant scientific expertise<\/a>, had initially\u2063 determined that the virus originated in\u200c a Wuhan laboratory. However, after their findings, the CIA whistleblower claims that financial\u200d incentives were provided to these \u2063experts to alter\u200b their position\u200d on the virus.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;According to the whistleblower, at the end of its review, six of the seven \u200bmembers of the Team believed the intelligence and science were sufficient to make a low confidence assessment that\u200b COVID-19 originated from a \u200dlaboratory in Wuhan, China,&#8221; House panel chairmen reps. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) and Mike Turner (R-OH) wrote.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The lone officer who disagreed\u200b with the lab \u2064theory believed that COVID-19 originated through zoonosis.\u200d The whistleblower further \u200ccontends that \u2063the other six members were given a significant \u200bmonetary incentive to change their position, leading to the eventual public\u200b determination of uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>The committee has taken action by \u200bsending a letter to former CIA chief operating officer\u200c Andrew Markridis, requesting\u2064 his participation in a\u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jim-jordan-subpoenas-former-disinformation-governance-board-head-nina-jankowicz\/\" title=\"Jim Jordan Subpoenas Former \u2018Disinformation Governance Board\u2019 Head, Nina Jankowicz\">voluntary transcribed interview<\/a>. Markridis, who played a \u200dcentral role \u2062in the formation and conclusion of the COVID investigation, retired\u200b from the agency in 2022 after overseeing its \u2064response to the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers\u2064 have also set a\u200c deadline for \u200cthe CIA to provide all records related to the establishment of the COVID Discovery Teams, including\u2063 pay history and communications with other federal government agencies such as the FBI, State Department, Department of Energy, and Health and Human Services.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1694623921900000&#038;usg=AOvVaw3XU1JP8lJcdDsDJc593fTP\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Department of Energy and the FBI were among the first federal agencies to suggest, with moderate confidence,\u200b that the \u2063origins of \u2062the pandemic were likely linked to a potential lab incident in Wuhan. In \u2064June, the Office of the\u200d Director of National Intelligence declassified a report that explored potential connections between\u2064 the Wuhan\u200d Institute \u2064of Virology and COVID&#8217;s origins. The report stated that while three lab workers fell ill in 2019, their symptoms were not directly diagnostic of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe testified before Congress, asserting that a lab leak is the only explanation supported by intelligence, science, and common sense. Ratcliffe emphasized that the evidence favoring a lab leak is substantial, while the support for\u2062 a natural origins \u2063or spillover theory is weak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New whistleblower claims reveal CIA bribed 6 officers probing COVID-19 origins, silencing their finding that the virus possibly emerged from a Chinese lab.
