Tulsi Gabbard's Final Reveal

The walls are finally closing in on the deep state's most dangerous secret: Tulsi Gabbard, on her way out the door as Director of National Intelligence, delivered the final blow the establishment never saw coming.

On her last day in office, DNI Tulsi Gabbard released declassified files showing U.S. funding for over 120 biolabs in more than 30 countries, some handling dangerous pathogens — a sprawling network hidden from the American taxpayers footing the bill. She didn't stop there. She specifically called out Anthony Fauci and "gain of function research," tying him directly to Wuhan lab funding that sparked COVID and to the manipulation of intelligence that kept the whole operation buried. This isn't speculation — these are Gabbard's own declassified documents, and the deep state is furious she dropped them.

The $38 billion scandal just got exposed, and the receipts lead straight back to Fauci. DNI Gabbard confirms Fauci is under investigation for perjury over Wuhan lab funding, and the pardon he thought would protect him is now under attack after Tulsi releases the motherlode of criminal evidence. She released claims alleging Fauci funded Wuhan research and misled Congress — under oath — while the Biden administration was allegedly lying about the very existence of these labs, including operations in Ukraine.

Follow the money, follow the labs, follow the cover-up. Tulsi Gabbard just infuriated the deep state by exposing what they spent years concealing: COVID was a planned scam with direct ties to Fauci and origins that were never meant to see daylight. These final declassified docs tie Fauci to the Wuhan lab cover-up, and now there is nowhere left to hide.

This research gives me a thorough factual basis. Let me now write the debunking.

The theory holds that DNI Tulsi Gabbard made a bombshell revelation by declassifying intelligence showing the U.S. secretly funded more than 120 biological laboratories across 30-plus countries, that this network was hidden from taxpayers and Congress, and that Anthony Fauci bears direct, named responsibility for a coordinated cover-up tied to the COVID-19 pandemic and the "deep state's" control of public health.

The central factual problem with this narrative is that the overseas laboratory program Gabbard's documents describe was never secret. The Department of Defense Cooperative Threat Reduction program — also known as the Nunn-Lugar program — was created to secure and dismantle weapons of mass destruction and their associated infrastructure in the former Soviet states, and was founded by Senators Sam Nunn and Richard Lugar through the Soviet Threat Reduction Act in 1991. The DoD CTR Program's work with partner countries is not a secret; the U.S. government has reported on these activities in Biological Weapons Convention working papers, annual reports prepared by the Global Partnership Against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction, and annual reports to Congress. Due to its success, Congress explicitly acted in 2004 to extend CTR activities beyond the territory of the former Soviet Union on an exceptional basis, and then in 2008 normalized the expansion of CTR activities around the world; today the program provides funding and expertise to more than 30 countries. The specific figure of approximately 120 facilities across 30 countries, and the roughly $200 million invested in Ukraine alone since 2005, had already appeared in Pentagon fact sheets and prior disclosures. The United States, through the DoD CTR Program, had invested approximately $200 million in Ukraine since 2005, supporting 46 Ukrainian laboratories, health facilities, and diagnostic sites, improving Ukraine's biological safety, security, and surveillance for both human and animal health. The existence of these U.S.-funded laboratories had been a matter of public record for years; the Pentagon had previously published fact sheets on the Cooperative Threat Reduction program, the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv openly described its activities in 2020, and in March 2022 Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland acknowledged the presence of Ukrainian "biological research facilities" during Senate testimony. Fact-checkers examining the specific documents Gabbard released on June 12, 2026 found a decisive problem at the evidentiary core: within 24 hours, journalists tracking the underlying documents found that the core piece of evidence was a Pentagon fact sheet describing a biosafety cooperation program that has existed publicly since 2005. Gabbard's accompanying map contained errors, with analysts at European Pravda noting mislabeled locations in Ukraine. The release, in other words, presented long-public material inside a frame of revelation.

On the claim that Fauci is directly and personally implicated as responsible for this biolab network: the structure of the accusation simply does not match the institutional record. Gabbard's ODNI press release accused Fauci, as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, of providing millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. But NIAID and the Pentagon's Defense Threat Reduction Agency are entirely separate institutions with separate chains of authority, funding streams, and congressional oversight structures. The global CTR biolab network — the one the "120 labs" figure refers to — is a DoD program, not an NIH or NIAID program. Attributing it to Fauci conflates two distinct bureaucratic systems in order to attach a villain the audience already distrusts. Lawfare's close legal and documentary analysis of the Gabbard document drops found that her materials, when read carefully, show something much narrower: the documents show Fauci participated in a February 2020 expert meeting about data needs for assessing the virus's origins, received a documented intelligence briefing on COVID origins, and recommended scientists the IC might consult — they do not show him steering an intelligence assessment, and during a pandemic, intelligence agencies would naturally consult leading infectious-disease experts and virologists. The documents follow a playbook of putting the desired conclusion in the headline, using "declassification" as a credibility signal, presenting a large mixed dump of documents as if they were a prosecutor's exhibit, and converting ordinary government processes — expert consultation, grant oversight, intelligence disagreement — into evidence of conspiracy, then pushing the accusation on social media where few people will read the underlying documents closely enough to notice the gulf between the documents and the claims.

There are real concerns underneath this story that deserve honest acknowledgment. Biosafety oversight of overseas laboratories is a genuine and serious policy question. Detailed geolocation and pathogen information was publicly available for only about 27 percent of BSL-3 labs globally, roughly 91 percent of countries with at least one BSL-3 lab lacked guidelines for dual-use research of concern, and there are documented lab-acquired infections — 309 cases involving 51 pathogens from 2000 to 2021, some fatal — with no comprehensive global registry or mandatory reporting. The Ukraine labs did present real, documented biosecurity risks during an active war — concerns the Intelligence Community itself raised. ODNI noted that biolabs in Ukraine may be at risk of compromise due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, and that the Intelligence Community had previously warned that at least one U.S.-funded biolab in Ukraine likely housed dangerous pathogens and remained vulnerable to threats of Russian attack, seizure, or damage. These are legitimate oversight questions Congress and successive administrations had partially but imperfectly addressed. The conspiracy narrative hijacks those real concerns by asserting that imperfect transparency equals deliberate concealment, that a publicly funded and congressionally authorized program equals a hidden criminal network, and that the presence of Fauci's name anywhere in a document dump equals personal criminal responsibility for everything. The final reasoning failure is unfalsifiability: any official denial becomes evidence of the cover-up, any gap in public documentation becomes proof of secret activity, and the very scale of the supposed conspiracy — spanning dozens of countries, multiple agencies, two administrations, and thousands of scientists and contractors — is presented as a feature rather than the logical impossibility it represents.

The concrete harm is measurable. This narrative recycles and amplifies a disinformation framework that Russian state media, including RT and TASS, had been actively promoting since 2022 as justification for the invasion of Ukraine, with Russian officials citing a "network of Western bioweapons labs" as one justification for the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Presenting that same framework as a domestic American "revelation" launders foreign disinformation through a U.S. government official's press release, lending it institutional legitimacy it would not otherwise have. For public-health communicators, the damage is concrete: conflating routine disease-surveillance infrastructure with covert bioweapons programs makes future pandemic-response cooperation harder to justify politically, demonizes the scientists who staff those programs, and provides a ready-made narrative to discourage compliance with any future public health measures by framing them as products of the same alleged "deep state" apparatus.
