Tulsi Gabbard Drops Horrific Bombshell About Fauci On Her ‘Last Day’ As DNI Chief

"According to Gabbard, the records contradict Fauci’s sworn statement that he had not communicated with U.S. intelligence agencies..."

Outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has released a new collection of files alleging that Fauci misled Congress, influenced intelligence assessments surrounding COVID-19’s origins, and helped facilitate U.S. funding for controversial coronavirus research at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The disclosures arrived as Fauci prepared to appear before Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-KY) Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, where the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director faced renewed questioning about gain-of-function research, the government’s handling of the pandemic, and his previous congressional testimony.

In a video announcing the release, Gabbard said the documents detail Fauci’s alleged role in “providing millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute”—research she said is now “widely viewed as the source of the unintentional lab leak that sparked the pandemic.”

The newly released files focus on Fauci’s congressional testimony in 2024.

According to Gabbard, the records contradict Fauci’s sworn statement that he had not communicated with U.S. intelligence agencies—including the FBI, CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency, or the Office of the Director of National Intelligence—about viral research connected to COVID-19.

When asked by lawmakers whether he had spoken with those agencies regarding coronavirus research before, during, or after the pandemic, Fauci responded:

“Not to my knowledge about COVID.”

Gabbard contends the newly released documents tell a different story.

The document release immediately drew praise from one of Fauci’s most persistent critics on Capitol Hill.

“Thank you to Tulsi Gabbard for her leadership and service in pursuing the truth, even when it wasn’t politically convenient,” Rand Paul wrote on X.

Paul has spent years arguing that Fauci knowingly misled Congress regarding National Institutes of Health funding that ultimately flowed through EcoHealth Alliance to coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Fauci has consistently denied lying to Congress and has maintained that the NIH did not fund gain-of-function research in Wuhan as defined under applicable federal policies.

Paul also questioned whether former President Joe Biden’s sweeping preemptive pardon of Fauci should survive legal scrutiny.

“He not only destroyed records, but he would send emails to others and say when you read this destroy it,” Paul told The National News Desk. “So, he’s guilty of multiple crimes and someone needs to have the guts to indict him. He needs to be investigated.”

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) similarly argued that Biden’s pardon may not foreclose every possible avenue for legal accountability.

“The presidential pardon doesn’t impact state charges so there still may be some possibilities there,” Johnson told The National News Desk. “I think where there’s fraud involved, I’m not sure where the statute of limitations apply to all of his potential crimes.”

The latest disclosures were part of a broader effort by Gabbard to declassify intelligence records before departing the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

Supporters say the releases advance long-overdue transparency surrounding one of the most consequential public health crises in modern history. Critics have argued that intelligence and scientific assessments should not be selectively disclosed or interpreted outside their broader context.

Fauci has not publicly responded to Gabbard’s latest document release.

He has consistently denied allegations that he concealed the origins of COVID-19, lied under oath, or knowingly funded dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Throughout multiple congressional appearances, Fauci has maintained that his actions were guided by the scientific evidence available at the time and that accusations against him are politically motivated.

Even so, the serious nature of Gabbard’s disclosures are difficult to ignore.
