The FBI launched an inquiry into the National Institutes of Health’s funding of bat research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, newly released emails show.

The interest from the top U.S. domestic investigative agency adds to the international scrutiny of the Wuhan facility, which houses one of China’s highest-level biosecurity labs and has been considered a possible source of the COVID-19 pandemic.
