Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused the National Institutes of Health of trying to suppress his department's investigation into the true origins of the coronavirus pandemic on "The Ingraham Angle" Thursday.

"[NIH] folks were trying to suppress what we were doing at the
State Department as well," he said.
Pompeo also said
Anthony Fauci, who runs the NIAID under the NIH umbrella, sounded like he was spreading Chinese government talking points in daytime interviews earlier Thursday:
"To hear Fauci this morning talk about how the Chinese have an interest in us discovering what happened is just crazy talk. The Chinese have a deep interest in covering it up. They have done so pretty darn effectively," he said.
Fauci, 80, voiced "the exact same theories that the Chinese Communist Party has presented for over a year now," said Pompeo, adding that such corollaries appear ill-timed:
"He implies good faith for the Chinese Communist Party: We are on the 32nd anniversary of the Tiananmen Square [incident] For Dr. Fauci to go out and think the CCP cared that there were people in Wuhan who were dying… is just naïve beyond all possible imagination."
Pompeo went on to back up reporting from
Vanity Fair that said a State Department official named Miles Yu, who can speak Mandarin, was actively translating and "mirroring" documentation on the Wuhan Institute of Virology's website in order to compile a dossier of questions about its research to the secretary.
