Declassified ODNI files fuel renewed scrutiny of Fauci, COVID origins
The segment reports on newly declassified ODNI documents released June 18, 2026, by DNI Tulsi Gabbard alleging Anthony Fauci's role in funding gain-of-function research at Wuhan Institute of Virology, interactions with the intelligence community to shape COVID origins narratives toward a wet market, and early private knowledge of lab-leak indicators. It covers Sen. Rand Paul's subpoena for Fauci's public testimony and Sen. Ron Johnson's comments on biolabs, pardons, and media coverage. The broadcast also briefly addresses broader COVID response failures and unrelated legislative topics like the filibuster and Save America Act. Sourcing draws from the senators' statements, ODNI releases, and prior reporting; no independent experts or opposing voices appear.
