New CIA Chief Releases Biden-Era Report Agency Kept Hidden from Americans – EVOL

The CIA’s decision to release a Biden-era assessment favoring the once widely-dismissed COVID-19 lab-leak origin story marks a step toward transparency with the American people, newly-confirmed CIA Director John Ratcliffe told Fox News on Sunday.

Speaking in his first interview since being confirmed as the agency’s director last Thursday, Ratcliffe spelled out the insights he made public shortly after taking over the post and affirmed the importance of restoring trust in American institutions.

“I had the opportunity on my first day to make public an assessment that actually took place in the Biden administration, so it can’t be accused of being political, and the CIA has assessed that the most likely cause of this pandemic that has wrought so much devastation around the world was because of a lab-related incident in Wuhan, so we’ll continue to investigate that moving forward,” he told “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo.

“I think it was important for the American people to see an institution like the CIA get off the sidelines and be truthful about what our intelligence shows and, at the same time, protect us from adversaries like China if they caused or contributed to this,” he added.
