Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just dropped a massive dose of truth on the American people, declassifying never-before-seen intelligence on over 120 U.S.-funded biological laboratories spread across more than 30 countries, including dozens in Ukraine. Many of these facilities have engaged in research on hazardous and highly contagious pathogens, including dangerous gain-of-function work—the exact risky experiments that multiple lines of evidence suggest played a central role in unleashing COVID-19 on the world. This revelation isn’t abstract policy wonkery. It’s proof that previous administrations poured American tax dollars into shadowy overseas programs with minimal oversight, then lied through their teeth when questions arose. Gabbard’s release aligns directly with President Trump’s May 2025 executive order shutting down federal funding for such reckless gain-of-function research abroad.

The Scope of the Revelations
The declassified materials detail longstanding Pentagon, HHS, and State Department programs funding these biolabs, many upgraded or expanded under agreements dating back to 2005. In Ukraine alone, the network involved significant investment, with facilities handling dangerous pathogens that intelligence warnings flagged as vulnerable to compromise during the ongoing conflict with Russia. The labs weren’t just defensive research outposts; some conducted work that enhanced the transmissibility or lethality of viruses—gain-of-function studies that experts have long warned could spark the next pandemic.
Gabbard made clear the programs operated with “very little visibility or oversight,” creating exactly the kind of biosecurity nightmare that America First leadership refuses to tolerate. The release includes maps, funding records, and documentation showing the full extent was deliberately hidden from the public. This isn’t ancient history—it’s a pattern of opacity that persisted through multiple administrations but reached new heights of denial under Biden.

Who Lied and Why It Matters
The finger points squarely at Dr. Anthony Fauci, key figures in the Biden administration’s national security apparatus, and elements of the public health bureaucracy. Gabbard explicitly called them out for repeatedly lying to the American people about the existence and scope of these U.S.-funded biolabs. When concerns surfaced—especially around Ukraine labs in 2022—officials and their media allies dismissed them as Russian disinformation or conspiracy theories. Whistleblowers and skeptics faced threats and smears. Fauci and company denied or downplayed the programs while the funding flowed, even as COVID’s origins debate exposed the dangers of this kind of research.
These weren’t innocent mistakes. They were calculated deceptions that kept taxpayers in the dark about immoral uses of their money—research that risked catastrophic leaks for questionable scientific or geopolitical gains. The immorality is staggering: using American dollars to tinker with pathogens in unstable regions, with weak safeguards, while gaslighting the public about the risks. This fits the broader pattern of weaponized bureaucracy and elite arrogance that America First is dismantling.

The America First Response and Path Forward
President Trump moved decisively with his executive order ending such funding. Gabbard’s declassification supports aggressive follow-through: mapping every lab, cataloging pathogens, and shutting down the dangerous work. The goal is clear—prevent another engineered or accidental pandemic that devastates lives and economies. No more blank checks for overseas adventures that prioritize abstract “global health security” over American safety and accountability.
This revelation vindicates those who questioned the official narratives from the start. It demands full investigations into who authorized the programs, who covered them up, and whether any criminal negligence or worse occurred. Taxpayers deserve to know exactly how their money was spent on activities that endangered the world. Gabbard’s transparency move is a win for truth and biosecurity. The deep state lied, the risks were real, and the reckoning is here. America First means never again letting unaccountable bureaucrats play god with pathogens on the public’s dime.
