ARE WHEN THEY EVENTUALLY COME
IN.
>> I WAS GOING TO SAY!
WE WILL SEE SOON.
MARISSA PARRA, THANK YOU VERY
MUCH.
>>> LET'S GET YOU TO SOME
BREAKING NEWS.
THE HEAD OF THE FBI, IN A BRAND-
NEW INTERVIEW, IS SAYING THAT
THE AGENCY THINKS THAT COVID
MAY HAVE ORIGINATED WITH A LAB
LEAK IN WUHAN, CHINA.
THIS IS IN AN INTERVIEW ON FOX
NEWS.
WE WANT TO PLAY YOU SOME OF THE
BACK-AND-FORTH HERE.
WATCH.
>> AS YOU NOTE, BRETT, THE FBI
HAS, FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW,
ASSESSED THAT THE ORIGINS OF
THE PANDEMIC ARE MOST LIKELY A
POTENTIAL LAB INCIDENT IN
WUHAN.
I SHOULD ADD THAT OUR WORK
RELATED TO THIS CONTINUES.
I WILL MAKE THE OBSERVATION
THAT THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT
SEEMS TO ME TO HAVE BEEN DOING
ITS BEST TO TRY TO THWART AND
OBFUSCATE THE WORK HERE, THE
WORK THAT WE ARE DOING, THE
WORK THAT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
AND CLOSE FOREIGN PARTNERS ARE
DOING.
>> KEN DELANEY JOINS US NOW
WITH THAT INTERVIEW WITH CHRIS
WRAY ON FOX.
THIS IS THE FIRST BIG-TIME
OFFICIAL THAT WE ARE HEARING
TALK ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT FOR FOUR DAYS
NOW, WHICH IS THIS MYSTERY OF
WHERE COVID CAME FROM, AND WAS
IT, AS THERE IS SOME LATE
REPORTING BASED ON WHAT YOU
HAVE DONE, SUGGESTS THAT IT WAS
A LAB LEAK FROM CHINA.
PUT THIS IN PERSPECTIVE.
>> Reporter: THIS IS THE FIRST
TIME THAT ANYONE FROM THE FBI
HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS LONG
STANDING POSITION, THAT THEY
BELIEVE WITH MODERATE
CONFIDENCE THAT THIS WAS A LAB
LEAK.
BUT IMPORTANT PERSPECTIVE HERE.
THEY ARE ONE OF EIGHT
INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES THAT HAS
LOOKED AT THIS, AND FOUR
BELIEVE THE OTHER WAY!
>> THAT IS WHAT IS SO
INTERESTING!
THE INTEL AGENCIES DON'T AGREE.
>> Reporter: THEY DON'T.
D THE CIA WAS SO DIVIDED THAT
THEY COULDN'T EVEN COME TO A
CONCLUSION TO WRITE IT OUT.
THE ENERGY DEPARTMENT HAS NOW
WEIGHED IN AND SAID THAT WE
BELIEVE WITH LOW CONFIDENCE
THAT IT WAS A LAB LEAK.
WHAT THIS TELLS YOU --
>> THAT IS THE FBI BELIEVE, IS
LAB LEAK.
CIA SAYS TBD, UNDECIDED.
FOUR OTHERS SAY THAT IT WAS NOT
A LAB LEAK.
>> Reporter: WHAT THIS TELLS
YOU IS THAT INTELLIGENCE IS
BAD!
THEY DON'T HAVE GOOD
INFORMATION.
THEY ARE GROPING IN THE DARK
HERE.
>> HOW DO WE REPORT ABOUT THAT?
>> Reporter: THAT IS QUITE
REMARKABLE.
THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF GOOD
INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING HERE,
AND THERE IS A COMPELLING CASE
FOR A LAB LEAK AND ALSO A
COMPELLING CASE THAT IT CAME
FROM NATURE, BECAUSE THAT IS
HOW MOST VIRUSES GET INTO THE
HUMAN POPULATION.
BUT THERE WAS THIS LAB THAT WAS
DOING RESEARCH ON THIS KIND OF
CORONAVIRUS, ONE OF THREE
PLACES IN THE WORLD, AND MANY
INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS RIGHT
AWAY SAID, WHAT A COINCIDENCE
THAT THIS HAPPENED RIGHT NEAR
THE SLAB IN CHINA!
THEN THEY STARTED COVERING
THINGS UP.
THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE WHO FELL ILL AT THAT LAB IN THE FALL
ILL AT THAT LAB IN THE FALL
BEFORE THE PANDEMIC OUTBREAK.
NO ONE FROM THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
HAS EVER BEEN ABLE TO INTERVIEW
THOSE PEOPLE.
THERE IS A LOT OF QUESTIONS,
BUT AT THE SAME TIME THERE HAVE
BEEN SCIENTIFIC PAPERS WRITTEN
THAT SAID NO NO NO, THIS
DEFINITELY CAME FROM ANIMALS.
IT CAME FROM THE ANIMAL MARKET.
REMEMBER THAT THERE IS A WET
ANIMAL MARKET IN WUHAN WHERE
WILD ANIMALS WERE BEING SOLD.
BUT THEY HAVE NOT FOUND ANY
ANIMAL THAT TRANSMITTED THE
CORONAVIRUS, COVID DIRECTLY TO
HUMANS.
>> WHY THIS IS SO IMPORTANT IS
BECAUSE IT GETS TO THE CENTRAL
QUESTION OF THIS PANDEMIC THAT KILLED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
KILLED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
AROUND THE WORLD, RIGHT?
DEADLY, HORRIFIC, GENERATION
CHANGING PANDEMIC.
HOW DID IT START?
THIS IS THE QUESTION THEY ARE
TRYING TO ANSWER.
EVEN THOUGH CHRIS WRAY IS
COMING OUT TONIGHT, HEAD OF THE
FBI, AND SAYING HERE IS WHAT WE
THINK, WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS
THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE THIS ALL
AND LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE
WITH A GRAIN OF SALT, ET
CETERA.
>> Reporter: WHAT MANY OF MY
SOURCES SAY IS THAT WE MIGHT
NEVER KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS,
BUT IT IS NOT NECESSARILY -- WE
CAN ACT AS OF BOTH THINGS ARE
TRUE, BECAUSE THERE ARE CERTAIN
STEPS THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN
BOTH ON LAB SECURITY AND THEN
