Ratcliffe, who was sworn in on Jan. 23 after Senate confirmation, told Fox News in a Jan. 26 interview that the assessment was completed under the Biden administration. The CIA said in the assessment that a lab origin is “more likely” for the COVID-19 pandemic and that the agency came to such a conclusion with “low confidence.”
“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,” Ratcliffe said.
