Tulsi Gabbard Releases Declassified Files Alleging Fauci Funded Wuhan Lab Research Linked to COVID-19
On her final day as US Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard released declassified documents alleging that Dr. Anthony Fauci funded gain-of-function research at China's Wuhan Institute of Virology, which may have contributed to the COVID-19 pandemic. The documents claim Fauci influenced intelligence assessments on the virus's origins and misled Congress under oath. Gabbard's office asserts these communications reveal efforts to suppress information about a lab-leak origin, though some details remain contested and heavily redacted.
