It also says some support may have come through a Pentagon program created after the Cold War to prevent biological and chemical threats. The investigation reportedly focuses on \u201cethical, financial and security\u201d concerns, including clinical trials.<\/p>\n<p>It further discusses related disputes about U.S. funding connected to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, citing admissions that U.S. money supported gain-of-function research there. The post argues U.S. officials previously failed to fully disclose such funding, while noting that the Biden administration denied \u201cownership or operation\u201d of Ukraine-based labs, distinguishing that claim from the question of who financed the work.<\/p>\n<p>More broadly, the piece frames the inquiry as part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/56-house-republicans-criticize-veterans-affairs-secretary-over-debt-limit-bill-claims\/\" title=\"56 GOP lawmakers slam VA Secretary for debt limit bill statements.\">ongoing political debate<\/a> over the risks versus benefits of gain-of-function research, and as part of the Trump administration\u2019s efforts to reshape intelligence and national security policy under Gabbard\u2019s leadership.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has launched an investigation of more than 120 biological laboratories overseas that have received U.S. tax dollars for decades.<\/p>\n<p>Gabbard told the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/05\/11\/us-news\/dni-tulsi-gabbard-probes-us-funding-to-more-than-120-biolabs-abroad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a> on Monday that her team is going to \u201cidentify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain and what \u2018research\u2019 is being conducted to end dangerous gain-of-function research that threatens the health and wellbeing of the American people and the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic revealed the catastrophic global impact research on dangerous pathogens in biolabs can have,\u201d Gabbard said. \u201cYet despite these obvious dangers, politicians, so-called health professionals, like Dr. Fauci, and entities within the Biden administration\u2019s national security team lied to the American people about the existence of these US-funded and supported biolabs and threatened those who attempted to expose the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In May of 2024, the National Institute of Health Principal Deputy Director Lawrence Tabak <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/05\/16\/us-news\/nih-director-admits-taxpayers-funded-gain-of-function-research-in-wuhan-four-years-after-covid-pandemic-began\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">admitted<\/a> to Congress that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-doubt-american-tax-dollars-funded-gain-of-function-research-at-wuhan-lab-ex-cdc-director\/\" title=\"\u2018No Doubt\u2019 ...
