The U.S. director of national intelligence (DNI) said this week that the intelligence community has seen “indications” that Beijing is attempting to influence the World Health Organization’s (WHO) investigation into the origins of COVID-19.
Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines made the remarks during a Senate Select Committee on Intelligence hearing on the topic of worldwide threats, after Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) asked her whether the United States has concerns about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) relationship with the WHO.
