, Jake Sullivan, National Security Adviser, via 'The New York Times'.

A number of them have said they just donā€™t have enough information to be sure, Jake Sullivan, National Security Adviser, via 'The New York Times'.

But right now, there is not a definitive answer that has emerged from the intelligence community on this question, Jake Sullivan, National Security Adviser, via 'The New York Times'.

GOP Rep.

Mike Gallagher, (R-WI), is a member of a House subcommittee investigating the pandemic's origins.

Evidence has been piling up for over a year in favor of the lab leak hypothesis, U.S. Rep.

Mike Gallagher, (R-WI), via 'The New York Times'.

I am glad some of our agencies are starting to listen to common sense and change their assessment, U.S. Rep.

Mike Gallagher, (R-WI), via 'The New York Times'.

Gallagher criticized the "Chinese Communist Party" for its willingness "to cover up" its knowledge of how the pandemic started.

[It is] an organization that was willing to cover up the origins of the pandemic and thereby cost us critical days, months and weeks and millions of lives in the process, U.S. Rep.

Mike Gallagher, (R-WI), via 'The New York Times'.

While support of the theory seems split along party lines, some academics say there is reason to question the origin.

The lab leak origin for the Covid-19 pandemic is not, and was not, a conspiracy theory, Anthony Ruggiero, Foundation for Defense of Democracies Scholar, via 'The New York Times'
