If an illegal Chinese-adjacent biolab was discovered in a major American city and most of the broadcast network evening news refused to cover it, was there ever really a clandestine biolab to begin with? This is the strategy appearing to be deployed by CBS and NBC so far., as they continue to hide a story with huge national security.
Watch ABC’s report as aired on World News Tonight on Wednesday, February 4th, 2026:

DAVID MUIR: Tonight, the new and disturbing allegations here about the discovery inside a home in Las Vegas. Was it an illegal biolab inside? Now comes news tonight multiple people who had been in the home claiming they have been sickened. The vials recovered from that home and what we learned tonight. Here is Melissa Adan now.
MELISSA ADAN: Tonight as the FBI pours over mysterious vials and other evidence seized from an alleged biolab inside a garage in this Las Vegas neighborhood, new court documents claim multiple employees of the home's property manager became, quote, “deathly ill” after entering the home's garage or spending time in the home, which was also an AirBnb. One employee who they call Kelly, because she didn't want to give her name, told investigators five days after entering the garage they got so sick they could not get out of bed. A law enforcement source has told ABC News they took 1,000 items from the home, including vials of unknown substances, some labeled in Mandarin Chinese. The property manager, Ori Solomon, now under arrest facing both federal and state charges, including disposing of hazardous waste consistent with biological agents. The homeowner is a Chinese national arrested in 2023 after authorities in Reedley, California said he operated an illegal biological lab that was funded by Chinese banks. He’s pleaded not guilty. David, records show that homeowner has two dozen properties that ABC News sources say are now being searched. David.
MUIR: Melissa Adan here in Los Angeles tonight. Melissa, thank you.
CBS hasn’t bothered to cover the story. The Evening News instead ran items on Waymo and Tesla executives being questioned on The Hill. Over on NBC, the interview with President Donald Trump took top billing. Even so, NBC found time for a massive fireball explosion in Russia.
The brief report raises more questions than it answers. Namely, how the biolab was able to operate so freely on U.S. soil. The report notes that the homeowner was arrested in 2023. This means the Biden administration released him, which didn’t get mentioned at all.
In a chilling detail, the report also mentions that there are TWO DOZEN other properties being searched. That is two dozen potential clandestine biolabs, each with their many hundreds of vials full of toxic sludge. Each of those homes a potential disaster waiting to happen.
