White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said there is no way to say where the CCP virus outbreak that infected President Donald Trump, the first lady, and others originated—although some have claimed the White House’s event for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett was the source.

When asked about whether the event led to the spreading of the virus, McEnany told Fox News, “There’s no way to say where this originated.”
