Overview

  • This week former DNI Tulsi Gabbard released hundreds of declassified pages that confirm NIAID grant money funded EcoHealth Alliance work at the Wuhan Institute of Virology beginning in 2014.
  • Senate Homeland Security Chairman Rand Paul issued a formal subpoena Monday to compel Dr. Anthony Fauci to testify publicly next month about those records and his pandemic-era actions.
  • The documents show Fauci briefed the National Security Council on June 4, 2021 and provided intelligence officials with a list of outside experts, including authors of the Proximal Origin paper.
  • Published intelligence work from August 27, 2021 and later agency statements remain divided and low confidence on engineering or a bioweapon, and the new files do not establish a definitive origin.
  • Legal accountability is clouded by a January 2025 presidential pardon for Fauci, and the subpoena could prompt court fights, further congressional oversight, and wider political scrutiny of pandemic-era decisions.
