The Department of National Intelligence (DNI) pours out evidence on COVID after six years of lies covering many facets of the world pandemic. On June 13, 2026 they published, “Truth: dangerous gain-of-function research was funded by the U.S. government around the world, directed and approved by people like Dr. Fauci.” DNI Gabbard exposed this by, “using U.S. government data, put together and uncovered by career subject matter experts in the intelligence community and other government agencies.” The release, “highlighted an example of the many overseas bio labs funded by the US, the research conducted there, and the significant risks they pose to the world, especially when located in a country at war. (Office of the DNI, Tulsi Gabbard, dnigov/files/BIOLABS…).

After that bombshell finding, related conclusion drops were presented in four DNI slides. Slide 1: “A draft President’s Daily Brief, written after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, details threats to Ukraine labs due to dangerous pathogen storage. Biden officials confirmed this on the record. The bio labs in Ukraine and other countries held and may continue to hold pathogens. They were built and funded by the US and we seek essential funding as powerful people and interest want to keep flowing.” (Office of the DNI, X22 Reports Ep 3926b, June 14, 2026, 44:10–46:24).
This was followed by slides two through four. Slide 2: “A map created by the ODNI [Office of the Director of National Intelligence] using US government data to show lab locations, bio safety levels of each location, the type of research being conducted, and if biological weapons were being stored.” Office of the DNI. Slide 3: “A list of labs and data pulled from US Embassy in Ukraine website that shows US government funding, the contracting company used, and whether or not the lab had a permit for especially dangerous pathogens.” Finally, Office of the DNI. Slide 4: “Data compiled from open source information that was collaborated with US government information, including US Embassy in Ukraine data, showing connections to the defense industry and research project data on U.S. funded highly pathogenic Avian Flu, and other highly infectious viruses in bio containment labs in Ukraine.”
In short, “The existence, history, locations of these U.S. funded bio labs was intentionally covered up by powerful people falsely claiming that the labs do not exist and accusing anyone who says otherwise to be foreign assets and traitors to America. Those lies are still being propagated today by the same powerful people and their allies who wished to see this dangerous research continue with little to know oversight.”
Tulsi Gabbard concludes, “POTUS rightly took action over a year ago to put a stop to U.S. funding of gain-of-function research to protect the American people and people all around the world.” Gain-of-function is lawful when applied to plants and animals but not when applied to humans. She promises that the “ODNI will continue to work closely with partners across the US government to identify where these dangerous bio labs are located across the world. What pathogens they contain, and to end dangerous gain-of-function research.” (Ibid.). These are not new findings LibertyUnderFire.org, reported March 11, 2022, “Are US-run Bioweapon Labs in Ukraine as Russia Says?” Yes, but Deep State media smothered what was then known.
Why is Tusi Gabbard’s DNI the most credible DNI ever. Because she was a life-long Democrat, had served as a Democrat congresswoman from Hawaii from 2013 to 2021. In February 2019, she officially launched her 2020 presidential campaign intending an eventual run against Trump. Her honesty and integrity is not party based. Trump knew this and placed her, as Director of National Intelligence, a position that could have backfired against him had she no integrity.
After six years what has been proved by Tulsi Gabbard’s DNI? COVID was manmade, worse, American government made and taxpayer funded in Ukraine, a country heavily influenced by Americas’ Deep State in 2014 and since. Gain-of-function research was prohibited in the United States so creating COVID was exported mostly to Ukraine where there would be no oversight. Biden knew of the labs, their origins and taxpayer financing and of their danger to the world. We know this from his daily briefs written after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and intentionally covered everything up. Also that this operation was “directed and approved by people like Dr. Fauci.” Those responsible for COVID all lied to the American people. Finally, the forces that created the labs deny the above conclusions and want these labs and research to continue.

What is likely also correct? COVID was taken from Ukraine to China without their knowledge and released from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (also funded by USAID) so China could be blamed as first deaths occurred there. China was right when she insisted in 2020 that COVID came from America. Russia had cause to invade Ukraine, as Putin insisted, as at least 13 of these bio labs were placed on his border threatening his people. He insisted they be removed.
COVID united Putin and Xi against America’s Deep State responsible for the disease as Russia was directly threatened by them and it, and China was blamed for it. Trump was the single greatest threat to the Deep State’s continued rule in both political parities in America since John F. Kennedy. The Kennedy files revealed “a government within a government” and the CIA the single most important instrument in the Kennedy assassination. Trump, like Kennedy, became its major target. The Deep State created the Russia hoax, impeached Trump twice, and rigged the 2020 presidential election, principally by use of fraudulent mail-in ballots, to get rid of him. Thereafter, when he chose to run again, after their coup to unseat him, they unloaded multiple indictments, judicial tyranny, and ongoing assassination attempts. Trump became the president they could not remove or kill. MAGA grows as people allow themselves to awaken.
Consequently both Russia and China are supportive of Trump’s exposing and removing the Deep State in America and from the world—strange bedfellows, but allies against the Deep State.
