01 · THE DISPATCH

Outgoing US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard published documents on Thursday alleging that Dr. Anthony Fauci, former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), played a central role in funding 'dangerous gain-of-function research' at the Wuhan Institute of Virology — the lab linked to the COVID-19 outbreak. In a video statement posted to X, Gabbard claimed the documents show Fauci attempted to conceal the lab leak origin of the virus, manipulated intelligence services, and lied to Congress under oath in 2024. She accused him of employing tactics from the 'deep state playbook' to hide the truth from the American people and undermine a duly elected president by restricting his access to essential facts.

Gabbard's announcement follows her earlier disclosure, reported by The Zioneer on June 15, of over 120 US-funded biolabs in more than 30 countries, following President Trump's executive order halting gain-of-function research funding. The documents she released are now posted online via NTD. The allegations have not been independently verified, and Fauci has not yet issued a public response. Gabbard stated that 'it is time the American people learn the real story.'
