Outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released a long list of files this week detailing Dr. Anthony Fauci’s role in the COVID-19 pandemic. Including allegations, he lied to Congress about gain-of-function research, influenced assessments on the origins of COVID-19, and "provided millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute."
即将离任的情报总监塔尔西·加巴德本周发布了一份长长的文件清单,详细描述了安东尼·福奇博士在新冠疫情中的作用。其中包括指控称,他向国会撒谎关于增益功能研究,影响了关于新冠疫情起源的评估,并“向武汉研究所提供了数百万美元美国纳税人资金,用于资助危险的蝙蝠冠状病毒增益功能研究。”
Gabbard said the files also expose how Fauci allegedly lied to Congress in 2024 when he was repeatedly asked whether he spoke to the FBI, CIA, DIA or any U.S. intelligence agency concerning viral research before, during, or after the pandemic. Fauci told lawmakers, “not to my knowledge about COVID.”
加巴德表示,这些文件还揭露了福奇在2024年被反复问及是否在疫情前、中、后与联邦调查局、中央情报局、国防情报局或任何美国情报机构讨论过病毒相关研究时, alleged 向国会撒谎。福奇对立法者说:“据我所知,没有关于新冠病毒的情况。”
Gabbard's release is only intensifying the ongoing battle over pandemic transparency. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who has long accused Fauci of intentionally misleading Congress about gain-of-function research, applauded her decision. He wrote on ‘X,’ Thank you to Tulsi Gabbard for her leadership and service in pursuing the truth, even when it wasn’t politically convenient.” The Senator also told The National News Desk this week that Fauci's preemptive pardon from former President Joe Biden before leaving office should be challenged in court.
加巴德的发布正不断加剧关于疫情透明度的持续斗争。长期指责福奇在增益功能研究问题上故意误导国会的共和党参议员兰德·保罗(R-Ky.)对她的决定表示赞许。他在“X”上写道:“感谢图尔西·加巴德在追求真相中的领导力和奉献,即使这并不符合政治便利。”这位参议员本周还告诉《国家新闻台》,前总统乔·拜登在离任前给予福奇的预防性赦免应在法庭上受到挑战。
