Asprawling FBI investigation into possible criminal coverups during the COVID-19 pandemic is zeroing in on three separate plots involving the origins of the virus; the hiding and destruction of federal records; and the manipulation of the vaccine approval process and subsequent side effects.
Agents in at least three cities — Cleveland, New York, and Baltimore — are working quickly in the investigation. The investigation was given a legal springboard in a major court ruling holding that China concealed the origins of the COVID-19 virus as well as recent information uncovered by Congress.
The existence of the sprawling investigation was made public last week by FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, who described the probe generally in a social media post.
“As we read and process reports of a new COVID strain emerging, I want you to know that we are actively investigating, in multiple field offices, the cover-up of the origin of the COVID virus, along with associated matters requiring our attention,” Bongino wrote in his X account. “You deserve answers.”
Some of the evidence driving the most active parts of the investigation includes emails in which federal scientists admit they were trying to hide discussions about COVID and the vaccine from the public by using private emails.
The possibility of illegal conduct in that matter is being led by agents in Baltimore, officials told Just the News.
Concerns and related evidence that federal scientists may have tried to hide elements of COVID’s emergence in Wuhan, China because of its own research there are being led by agents in Cleveland, officials added.
There is now open-source intelligence suggesting the earliest recorded case of COVID in China’s databases may have been in September 2019 and that several scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were sickened by the virus in October 2019, well before China admitted that there was human transmission of the virus in January 2020.
