Dr. Anthony Fauci’s alleged connection to the CIA regarding the origins of COVID-19 set House investigators demanding answers.
Despite federal agencies like the Department of Energy and FBI asserting the likelihood that the virus used as justification to shut down society had come from a lab, the Central Intelligence Agency has continued to cling to the possibility of zoonosis.
Now, it appeared that Fauci may have had a direct impact on that posture according to information gathered by the House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. In a letter issued Tuesday to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, questions were presented about the lead member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force appearing at CIA headquarters “without a record of entry.”
“New allegation: @CIA secretly escorted Dr. Anthony Fauci into Agency Headquarters to ‘influence’ its COVID-19 origins investigation,” the subcommittee captioned the letter sent to HHS Inspector General Christi A. Grimm.
Penned by chair Ohio Rep. Brad Wenstrup, the letter disclosed, “According to information gathered by the Select Subcommittee, Dr. Anthony Fauci, then-director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, played a role in the Central Intelligence Agency’s review of the origins of COVID-19. The information provided suggest that Dr. Fauci was escorted into Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Headquarters–without a record of entry–and participated in the analysis to ‘influence’ the Agency’s review. Our goal is to ensure the scientific investigative process regarding the origins of COVID-19 was fair, impartial, and free of alternative influence.”

Asserting the need for transparency and accountability, Wenstrup continued, “information regarding specific movements of Dr. Fauci throughout the pandemic is reasonable and hardly intrusive, especially considering he is no longer employed by the federal government, he is no longer a protectee of the Inspector General, and we are not requesting any information regarding his current movements.”
The subcommittee linked concerns about the clandestine movements of the former NIAID director to “recent whistleblower testimony alleging @CIA rewarded six analysts with significant financial incentives to change their COVID-19 origins conclusion from a lab-leak to zoonosis.”

Alongside House Intelligence Committee chair Ohio Rep. Mike Turner (R), Wenstrup had written to the CIA in early September about how “A multi-decade, senior-level, current Agency officer [had] come forward to provide information to the Committees regarding the Agency’s analysis into the origins of COVID-19.”
That testimony that six members out of seven had ascribed to the lab leak theory while a seventh held out and, “to come to the eventual public determination of uncertainty, the other six members were given a significant monetary incentive to change their position.”
The CIA had been given a Sept. 26, 2023 deadline for records related to the COVID Discovery Teams and their communications with other agencies such as the FBI, Energy Department, State Department, and HHS.
“What difference does it make to @CIA whether the pandemic originated at a Chinese lab or in nature?” wondered the subcommittee, “Now, same question for Dr. Fauci.”

In March of this year, the subcommittee uncovered emails that alleged Fauci had played a significant role in squashing the lab leak theory prior to lockdowns and that the then-NIAID director had “‘prompted’ the drafting of a publication that would ‘disprove’ the lab leak theory,” as he himself approved in February 2020 the paper “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” for publication in Nature Magazine that he would later reference to attest to COVID’s supposed natural origin.
Wenstrup gave HHS until Oct. 10, 2023, to provide any documents and communications related to Fauci being admitted to any facility “owned, operated or occupied” by the CIA between Jan. 1, 2020, and Dec. 31, 2022, when he retired. Additionally, they asked that Special Agent Brett Rowland be made available for an interview.
