Biden Administration Halts Funding to Wuhan Lab Amid COVID Investigation

The Biden administration has halted funding to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, the lab at the center of the investigation into the origins of COVID-19, after it failed to provide necessary documents on safety and security measures. The lab has faced scrutiny over its research with viruses and the possibility that the virus escaped from the facility. The Biden administration's review concluded that the lab did not comply with federal regulations and should not receive federal funding. The report from the Director of National Intelligence did not provide any fresh conclusions on the lab's involvement, showing that intelligence agencies are divided on the origin of the pandemic.
