Did Top US Scientist Fund Wuhan Lab Research Tied to COVID-19's Origins? Tulsi Gabbard's Final Bombshell

Gabbard says the documents show millions in U.S. taxpayer funding supported Wuhan research and a cover-up of COVID-19 origin findings.

  • On Thursday, outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released documents accusing former top health official Anthony Fauci of funding controversial research at China's Wuhan Institute of Virology and suppressing information about the virus's origins.
  • The ODNI alleged that Fauci and senior intelligence officials created a "self-serving circular reporting loop," where scientists funded by NIAID influenced intelligence assessments to undermine the lab-leak theory.
  • Whistleblowers told Gabbard's office that analysts questioning COVID's origins faced professional retaliation, with some discouraged from supporting the lab-leak hypothesis, revealing a pattern of "suppressing dissent, silencing critics and burying the truth."
  • Newly released correspondence contradicts Fauci's 2024 testimony before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, where he asserted "not to my knowledge about COVID" regarding communications with intelligence agencies.
  • Former President Joe Biden issued a pre-emptive pardon to Fauci in January 2025, stating investigations "wreak havoc" on targeted individuals, while Bill Pulte has replaced Gabbard as acting director of national intelligence.
