Tulsi Gabbard has made serious allegations against Anthony Fauci, claiming he funded "dangerous gain-of-function research" at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. On her final day as Director of National Intelligence, Gabbard released never-before-seen documents that purportedly reveal Fauci's influence on COVID-19 assessments.125
According to Gabbard, Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars for this research, which she describes as dangerous. The documents also suggest that Fauci manipulated Intelligence Community assessments regarding the pandemic. Gabbard stated, "Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I'm releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab."4
Furthermore, Gabbard's office claims that Fauci promoted a "fraudulent paper" as legitimate information for intelligence community consideration. This raises questions about his credibility, especially after he allegedly lied during his public congressional testimony in June 2024. During that hearing, Fauci was asked whether he had communicated with any US intelligence agencies regarding viral research. He reportedly dodged the questions and falsely stated, "Not to my knowledge about COVID."79
These revelations have sparked significant controversy and debate over Fauci's role in the pandemic response and the funding of controversial research.
