Gabbard Releases 100s of Pages Alleging Fauci Misled Congress on COVID Origins
3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 22
Summary
Hundreds of declassified pages released by former DNI Tulsi Gabbard allege Anthony Fauci privately shaped U.S. intelligence work on COVID-19 origins while publicly downplaying that role.
The documents reportedly show Fauci joined FBI and ODNI teleconferences as early as February 2020 and gave guidance for the Biden administration's 90-day origins review in June 2021.
A whistleblower account in the release says intelligence analysts repeatedly judged a lab leak the likeliest origin, but Fauci supplied experts favoring natural origin and dissenting analysts faced career pressure.
The allegations also target Fauci's 2024 congressional testimony, saying his claim that he was only "briefed" by agencies conflicts with records of regular contact and direct input.
If substantiated, the release would sharpen scrutiny of how U.S. officials, intelligence agencies and media handled the lab-leak debate during the pandemic.
What do these documents reveal about the risks posed by a global network of over 120 US-funded biological laboratories?
If officials can influence intelligence, how can we ensure scientific integrity and public trust in future pandemics?
The Gabbard Documents: Inside the 2026 ODNI Declassification, Fauci Allegations, and the Battle Over COVID-19 Origins and Government Accountability
Overview
In June 2026, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a set of declassified documents after a yearlong review mandated by President Trump for maximum transparency. These documents, based on extensive testimony from Intelligence Community whistleblowers, reignited debate about the origins of COVID-19 and the actions of key officials. The whistleblowers reported facing retaliation for questioning how intelligence on the virus’s origins was handled and manipulated. According to the ODNI, the declassification process revealed a pattern of suppressing dissent, silencing critics, and burying evidence, raising serious concerns about integrity and accountability within the intelligence community.
