morning futures. maria: china s coronavirus coverup may finally be unraveling with president biden ordering the intelligence community to investigate the origins of the pandemic, this comes just days after dr. anthony fauci finally admitted that p covid-19 may not have originated naturally after all. and that the nih did in fact fund coronavirus research at the wuhan lab of virology. watch this. it would have been almost a dereliction of our duty if we didn t study this and the only way you can study these things is you ve got to go where the action is, so we had a modest collaboration with very respectable chinese scientists who are world experts on coronavirus and we did that through a subgrant from a larger grant to eco health. maria:a: aha, viewers of this program already knew all about

the wuhan lab of virology. we ve been reporting on it since february 2020 when senator tom cotton became the first u.s. lawmaker to go on the record on this program and question whether the pandemic originated there at that lab. he joined me last sunday right here to share what he learned since then. every bit of circumstantial evidences to include evidence that came out in the final days of the trump administration that some employees and staff at these labs may have had coronavirus like symptoms as early as october or september of 2019, continues to point to these labs as the origin of this virus, not that food market that the chinese communist party used as a cover story from the beginning. that s why it s so imperative that the biden administration hold the chinese communist party accountable and demand answers for all of these questions. maria: and in fact n the final days of the trump administration, former secretary of state mike pompeo launched an inquiry into the connection
