Peter Daszak testifies to House committee probing Covid lab leak

US officials may have sent taxpayer money to fund risky research in a Chinese lab known to be carrying out bioweapon research.

Disgraced researcher Dr Peter Daszak suggested to a subcommittee that the intelligence community was aware of the coronavirus experiments carried out at the Institute of Virology years before the pandemic - which many fear may have started the outbreak.

The government sent money to the Chinese facility despite concerns that the WIV was being by the Chinese government to manufacture bioweapons, according to Dr Daszak's testimony.
