Trump reveals tales of Wuhan body bags in Sky documentary
ALLEGATIONS made by former US president Donald Trump in the Sky News documentary What Really Happened in Wuhan drew huge interest from viewers who tuned into the one-hour special.
Mr Trump, in an interview with The Australian’s investigative writer and Sky News host Sharri Markson, revealed bodies were dumped outside the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
“Well, I started hearing stories, that you have also, that there were lots of body bags outside of the lab,” Mr Trump told Markson.
“I heard that a long time ago. And if they did, in fact, have body bags, that was one little indication, wasn’t it?”
The claims follow suggestions from former secretary of state Mike Pompeo that intelligence about the first incident relating to Covid-19 may have been as early as July or August 2019 – five months before
China admitted to the World Health Organisation there was an outbreak.
OZTAM figures show the onehour documentary was the highestrating program on subscription TV on Monday night, drawing 160,000 viewers.
Markson, who has written a book with the same title as the documentary, said she was overwhelmed by the interest in the TV special.
“It’s wonderful our documentary has resonated with viewers and many people want to know exactly what happened in Wuhan,” she said.
“And 4.7 million people have died and there has been no credible investigation internationally to why this pandemic started and that’s why I think it’s such an important topic to investigate.
“I have dedicated virtually this entire year to investigating what happened in Wuhan.”
The documentary also drew 100,000 viewers on the Sky News regional free-to-air channel.
