In this episode of The Ian Carroll Show, the host reacts to Tulsi Gabbard’s release of the “Fauci Files” on her final day as Director of National Intelligence. The documents — hundreds of pages from ODNI, CIA, and other agencies — provide evidence that COVID-19 originated from a US-funded lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology involving gain-of-function research, that Fauci perjured himself before Congress, and that the intelligence community suppressed the lab-leak hypothesis. Carroll expresses disappointment that the release offers transparency but no real accountability, noting the timing coincides with the expiration of statutes of limitations, while emphasizing that even this moderate version points to deeper issues of bioweapons research and coordinated preparation for the pandemic.
