Coco sometimes finds it difficult to see the wood for the trees when trying to decide what is really important about recent pieces of news speculation over the contents of which has been perhaps been suppressed for six or more years. When the Director of a Government organisation resigns, for personal not political reasons, and on the last working day, 19 June 2026, releases that which had been classified, then you, dear reader, might be forgiven for thinking that perhaps the resignation was political after all, and perhaps more so when the content of the disclosures are considered.
But to think in that way would be to impugn the integrity of the outgoing directress, whom we could not call a whistle-blower for she was acting in her official capacity as Director of National Intelligence of the government of the United States. The press release may be found here: Fauci Funded Wuhan Lab Research That Sparked COVID.
Given that the press release, and supporting documents, however impugn the integrity of another it may become a case of ‘you said-I said’ unless the evidence stacks up correctly. The Director seems to think that it does. Do you?
The cache of documents may be found here, but the same links are on the official dni.gov site.

So what is the conclusion of the matter? Is it that someone did not speak the truth, or is it that what was being done was being covered up, or is it that what was being covered up should not have been being done?
- Before the COVID pandemic, Dr. Fauci, as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, provided millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, work which is now widely viewed as the source of the unintentional lab leak that sparked the pandemic.
In support of President Trump’s maximum transparency mandate, today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents that expose exactly how Fauci worked with politicized career leadership in the intelligence community to in directing U.S. funding for this dangerous research that caused immeasurable harm and countless lost lives. These documents expose Fauci’s direct role in influencing and manipulating IC assessments on COVID-19 and how Fauci lied to Congress in 2024 when under oath he denied knowledge of or participation in discussions with intelligence officials about viral research. We also received testimony from multiple intelligence community whistleblowers who reported retaliation for challenging the intelligence community’s manipulation of intelligence on the virus’s origins, once again revealing a clear pattern of suppressing dissent, silencing critics, and burying the truth. Dr. Fauci’s close relationships with the intelligence community enabled him to assume three key roles that shield him from scrutiny.
First, Dr. Fauci funded dangerous gain-of-function coronavirus research linked to big pharma and their pursuit of universal vaccines worth trillions of dollars.
Second, Dr. Fauci was the behind-the-scenes advisor who, alongside his hand-picked so-called experts, pushed the intelligence community to endorse a natural animal origin to hide all of this in a deliberate attempt to cover up the truth and shift the blame and attention away from Fauci’s own actions.
Third, Dr. Fauci became the nation’s pandemic pundit and he publicly pushed lies, disinformation, and censorship using every platform available.
Now, according to hundreds of reviewed emails which are included in this release, the intelligence community almost always incorporated Fauci’s recommendations. He promoted a fraudulent paper whose publication he helped prompt as legitimate information for intelligence community consideration. Senior analysts praised Dr. Fauci not as a policymaker, but as what they called an unbiased while deliberately ignoring experts who might dissent from Fauci’s narratives.
Now, Fauci didn’t stop there. He blatantly lied to Congress under oath during his 2024 testimony to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus pandemic, denying that he ever spoke to any intelligence agency about COVID. Now, the correspondence I’m releasing today directly contradicts his sworn testimony. Now, we receive statements from multiple whistleblowers revealing that the intelligence analysts who dared to challenge Dr. Fauci’s COVID origin conclusions, faced threats of retaliation, marginalization, and many suffered career setbacks.
For example, a contractor was terminated just days after coming forward to ODNI as a whistleblower.
Another example, those who advocated for the lab leak hypothesis or expressed dissenting views were reminded by their managers that leadership would determine which analysts would be promoted and which would not. The message was clear. Go along or be punished.
Senior leaders also sought to undermine whistleblowers by removing anonymity, which is required in the whistleblower process, as they made their complaints, and also insisting that their managers or attorneys be present during OD&I meetings where these whistleblowers were coming forward with their testimony. Obviously, creating an atmosphere of intimidation.
The COVID pandemic caused tremendous hardship and pain for millions of our fellow Americans and countless people around the world. And after years of lies and censorship and cover-ups,the American people deserve transparency, truth, and accountability. The tactics that were used to hide the truth are straight from the deep state playbook. Politicized self-serving leaders like Dr. Fauci covered up their own wrongdoing and abuses of power, manipulated intelligence, lied to Congress, and undermined a duly elected president by restricting his access to the vital facts he needed to keep the country safe.
