The White House said it hasn’t ruled any theories out yet on COVID-19’s origin but refused to say whether there would be retribution if the tracks led back to a Chinese lab.
“Would the president seek to punish China?” Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Jean-Pierre, if the lab leak theory were proven.
“We’re not going to go there just yet,” Jean-Pierre replied, “We have to go through the 90-day review. And once we have the 90-day review, will we be able to reassess.” Biden earlier said he had asked the intelligence community to “redouble their efforts” to “bring us closer to a definitive conclusion” and get back to him within 90 days.
Doocy pressed again. “If another nation either was responsible or knew more than they were letting on… What would the president do?”
“I’m just not going to prejudge. I’m not going to make a statement until, you know, until we know what happens after this 90-day review,” Jean-Pierre replied.
