Former US president Joe Biden's ex-chief medical advisor Anthony Fauci funded a research lab in China's Wuhan, which is widely said to be the laboratory that sparked the COVID-19 pandemic, the outgoing US Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard said on Thursday. Releasing "never-before-seen" documents on her last day in the office, Gabbard said Fauci, who led the Biden government's approach to the Covid when it hit the US in early 2020, provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund "dangerous gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses" at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). Tulsi Gabbard, who last month quit as Donald Trump's intelligence chief, said that the tactics Anthony Fauci used to hide the truth are "straight from the deep state playbook".

Her office said that Fauci lied during his public congressional testimony in June 2024. In that hearing, Fauci was repeatedly asked whether he spoke to "FBI, CIA, DIA or any US intelligence agency concerning viral research" before, during, or after the pandemic."Fauci repeatedly dodged the questions before falsely stating, 'Not to my knowledge about COVID'," it said.
