The documents, released by outgoing DNI tulsi Gabbard, suggest Fauci worked with politicized IC leaders to suppress facts about the virus\u2019s lab-leak origins, his role in funding risky research at the Wuhan lab, and misinformation about COVID-19\u2019s natural origins. The files allege Fauci influenced intelligence assessments, lied to Congress about his involvement in discussions on viral research, and manipulated the public narrative, including censorship efforts. Biden granted Fauci a last-minute pardon. The records also indicate Fauci\u2019s efforts to downplay the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-said-he-would-press-china-on-the-origins-of-covid-he-hasnt\/\" title=\"Biden Said He Would Press China on the Origins of COVID.
