National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan on Sunday cast doubt on a forthcoming report from the World Health Organization’s investigation in Wuhan, China into the origins of the coronavirus.

“We believe that both the WHO and China should step up on this matter,” Sullivan said in an interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

WHO recently completed a fact-finding mission to Wuhan to investigate several theories into the origins of the coronavirus, including that it jumped from an animal species to humans at one of Wuhan’s food markets, or that it started after a lab accident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Sullivan declined to endorse any of the theories, but said that the Chinese government has withheld raw data that would be crucial to WHO’s investigation.
