Outgoing National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard on June 18 released documents exposing Dr. Anthony Fauci’s alleged role in directing U.S. funding for “dangerous gain-of-function research” at a Wuhan lab linked to the origin of the COVID-19 virus.
Gabbard said in a video statement posted on X that the documents indicate that Fauci, who previously headed the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, tried to conceal the virus’s lab-leak origins and made false statements to Congress while under oath in 2024.
“The tactics used to hide the truth are straight from the deep state playbook: politicized self-serving leaders like Dr. Fauci covered up their own wrongdoing and abuses of power, manipulated intelligence, lied to Congress, and undermined a duly elected President by restricting his access to vital facts needed to keep the country safe.
“It’s time the American people learn the real story,” Gabbard said in a statement released by her office.
