Former secretary of state Mike Pompeo has unleashed on the World Health Organisation’s response to COVID-19 arguing the institution “utterly failed” in the “one job it had” which was to “prevent a pandemic”.
“The World Health Organisation – an institution that utterly failed in the one job that it had – preventing a pandemic,” Mr Pompeo said.
“At the moment of crisis, at the crunch point, they sided with Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party and not with the world.”
Mr Pompeo told Fox News’ Trey Gowdy that it’s going to be “hard” to find the answers to the origins of COVID-19 and he called for full transparency from China.
“Someday there will be some brave Chinese person sneak out with the documents, with the paperwork, the logbook from the lab," he said.
"Whatever it takes for us to know.”
