Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Sunday that he believes the coronavirus pandemic originated with a leak out of a lab in Wuhan, China, and that under the Trump administration the U.S. came close to uncovering the details of how it began.

“We have a really good idea what happened here,” Pompeo said. “There is an enormous amount of evidence that there was a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. There is a pile of evidence a hundred feet high, I have high confidence that that�s the case. We pressed the Chinese Communist Party really hard � not just the State Department, but our CDC and others too.”

Pompeo went on to say that Team Trump �got very close to being able to make a lay-down case for what actually happened,� adding that we �know enough now� and the �coverup continues� by the Chinese government.

�Do you think that the virus came from a lab leak from the Wuhan Institute?� Wallace flatly asked.

�I do,� Pompeo answered.
