On her final day as Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Tulsi Gabbard released a new batch of declassified documents alleging that former top US health official Anthony Fauci funded gain-of-function research linked to China's Wuhan Institute of Virology, helped suppress the Covid-19 lab-leak theory, and misled Congress during a 2024 hearing. The documents, published by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), have reignited the long-running debate over the origins of Covid-19. While Gabbard claims the records expose previously hidden details about US funding, intelligence assessments, and pandemic-era decision-making, Fauci has previously denied that NIH-funded research in Wuhan contributed to the creation of SARS-CoV-2. The release comes amid continuing divisions within US intelligence agencies over whether Covid-19 originated from a laboratory incident or natural spillover.
