Speaking at CPAC, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo celebrated his "vindication" that a lab leak is the origin of the coronavirus after the FBI admitted that likelihood.
"I'm not one for vindication, but this week it was good to see the Department of Energy finally conclude that the damn virus came from the lab in Wuhan," he said, referencing the Department of Energy joining the FBI in admitting the lab leak theory was the likely cause of the virus spreading.

"I, frankly, nearly lost my job. I nearly lost my job as secretary of state for publicly ripping into China over what happened — this COVID virus that they foisted on the entire world, killing millions and affecting every life in this room for years and years," Pompeo added.
