WASHINGTON, D.C. — Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Anthony Fauci, as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV)—work which is now widely viewed as the source of the unintentional lab leak that sparked the pandemic.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Fauci worked with politicized career leadership in the Intelligence Community (IC) to suppress the truth about his actions, the virus’ lab-leak origins, and his role in directing U.S. funding for this dangerous research that caused immeasurable harm and countless lost lives. These documents expose Fauci’s direct role in influencing and manipulating IC assessments on COVID-19, and how Fauci lied to Congress in 2024, when under oath he denied knowledge of or participation in discussions with intelligence officials about viral research.

This enclosed report responds to Section 7703(b) in the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 (Pub. L. No. 118-31), as amended.

WASHINGTON — After months of searching through Intelligence Community holdings and files, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard is revealing new evidence of longstanding United States government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries. These biolabs include labs in Ukraine, which may be at risk of compromise due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. For example, the Intelligence Community previously warned that a US-funded biolab in Ukraine likely housed dangerous pathogens and remained vulnerable to longstanding threats of Russian attack, seizure, or damage.

WASHINGTON — In support of President Trump’s directive to make the 2026 FIFA World Cup “the Greatest and Safest Sporting Event in American History,” the Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s (ODNI) National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) today hosted the “2026 FIFA World Cup Analytic Symposium” with federal, state, and local government partners to prepare and coordinate Intelligence Community support ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is set to take place in cities across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19, 2026.
