First....now the Energy Dept. has weighed in and agrees with the FBI that covid most likely originated via a lab leak.
Other components of US Intel community still on the fence.

WSJ is paywalled so a story of the story is here.

At this point it's apparent no one is doing anything even if China confessed. So I wonder why are they still bothering with origin investigation?

But more importantly....when did the "Energy Dept." become a member of the intel community with any reason to look at covid origins?

Just another example of ballooning bureaucracy and out of control federal dept. budgets.

Yes, there are a bunch of problems with that story, including sourcing,
what that "new evidence" might be and the bureaucracy wars where lab-leak/natural origin fans can tally up which departments have weighed in.

If there's new evidence, let's see it.
