Schiff: Trump Admin. Using Coronavirus Lab-Origin Story to 'Deflect Attention' from U.S. Failures

Representative Adam Schiff said Tuesday that President Trump has embraced the “false narrative” that the coronavirus escaped from a Chinese lab in order to deflect from the administration’s “terrible mishandling” of the pandemic.

“We are told that we are currently informed on the latest intelligence, so I don’t know where they’re getting this apart from expressing their desire, or they’re withholding information from Congress,” Schiff, who serves as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said during an MSNBC appearance.

President Trump said Thursday that he has seen evidence that the virus escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.

When pressed for details, Trump responded, “I can’t tell you that. I’m not allowed to tell you that.”
