A number of them have said they just don’t have enough information to be sure, Jake Sullivan, National Security Adviser,

But right now, there is not a definitive answer that has emerged from the intelligence community on this question, Jake Sullivan, National Security Adviser,

Mike Gallagher, (R-WI), is a member of a House subcommittee investigating the pandemic's origins.
Evidence has been piling up for over a year in favor of the lab leak hypothesis, U.S. Rep.
Mike Gallagher, (R-WI),
via 'The New York Times'.
I am glad some of our agencies are starting to listen to
common sense and change
their assessment, U.S. Rep.
Mike Gallagher, (R-WI),
via 'The New York Times'.
Gallagher criticized the "Chinese Communist Party" for its willingness "to cover up" its knowledge of how the pandemic started.
[It is] an organization that was willing to cover up the origins of the pandemic and thereby cost us critical days, months and weeks and millions of lives in
the process, U.S. Rep.
Mike Gallagher, (R-WI),

While support of the theory seems split along party lines, some academics say there is reason to question the origin.
The lab leak origin for the Covid-19 pandemic is not, and was not, a conspiracy theory, Anthony Ruggiero, Foundation for Defense of Democracies Scholar, via 'The New York Times'
Xi Mingze, Chinese President Xi Jinping’s only daughter, is back in headlines amid US-China tensions. The Harvard-educated Xi reportedly resides in Massachusetts under tight security. Her speculated presence in the US draws fresh attention as Washington moves to revoke student visas linked to the Chinese Communist Party. With Trump targeting Harvard over non-compliance and Marco Rubio pushing stricter visa policies, Xi Mingze’s future in the US looks uncertain. Beijing has slammed the decision, demanding answers. Reports also suggest she may now be a research student in Cambridge.

The U.S. is ramping up its anti-China stance with new visa restrictions targeting Chinese students. Senator Marco Rubio revealed plans to revoke visas of students with alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party or sensitive academic fields. China has condemned the move, accusing the U.S. of politicizing education and harming international cooperation. With Chinese students making up the second-largest international group in the U.S., these policies could disrupt academic institutions and worsen U.S.-China relations. The State Department has also paused new interviews and expanded social media screening for applicants.

Harvard University is at the center of a growing political and national security firestorm. The Trump administration has moved to revoke the school’s ability to enroll foreign students, accusing the Ivy League giant of harboring Chinese Communist Party influence and fostering antisemitism. Nearly 7,000 international students could be forced to leave — a fifth of them from China — if the policy moves forward.

In a dramatic escalation, President Trump has stripped Harvard University of its SEVP status, effectively banning international student enrollment. Nearly 7,000 students face deportation unless they transfer within 72 hours. The move, tied to demands to end DEI initiatives and Crack down on antisemitism, freezes $2.2 billion in federal funding. Homeland Security cites Harvard’s alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party. University officials call it political retaliation, warning of devastating impacts on research, global collaboration, and academic freedom.

Massive wildfires raging across Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario have forced over 17,000 evacuations and triggered states of emergency. Driven by dry air, heat, and high winds, the blazes have already scorched 1.8 million acres. Smoke is now drifting into the U.S., with air quality alerts issued in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Forecasts warn that smoke will spread into the Ohio Valley and Carolinas, bringing health risks from fine particles. Experts say wildfire smoke is now one of the most dangerous air pollutants for Americans.

In a fiery declaration, U.S. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna has vowed to block all future weapons funding for Ukraine over what she calls the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Citing President Zelensky’s crackdown on the nation’s largest Christian denomination, Luna, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, accused Ukraine of violating religious freedoms and warned that the U.S. is "not your piggy bank." Her post comes amid growing criticism in the U.S. of how billions in aid to Ukraine are being used, especially under Trump’s renewed “America First” policy. The issue has gained little attention in U.S. politics, but high-profile voices like Tucker Carlson have echoed similar concerns. The controversy deepens as Zelensky strips top clergy of citizenship and pushes legislation targeting churches with links to Russia. Is Washington finally rethinking its blind support for Kiev?
