China claims US report on coronavirus origins based on 'concocted lies and distorted facts'

The Chinese government released a statement Tuesday slamming comments by U.S. congressmen that there is a preponderance of evidence showing the coronavirus originated in Wuhan lab.

"The relevant report, totally based on the concocted lies and distorted facts without providing any evidence, is not credible or scientific," a spokesperson for China’s Foreign Ministry department said in a statement responding to a House GOP report concluding the virus likely came from a Chinese lab.
