Chair of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) has written a letter to Health and Human Services Inspector General Christi Grimm alleging that Dr. Anthony Fauci was secretly escorted into CIA headquarters to influence the agency’s COVID origins probe.
Excerpts from Wenstrup’s letter below:
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 suggests 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.
The Select Subcommittee’s goal is to ensure accountability and transparency. The American people deserve the truth—to know the origins of the virus and whether there was a concerted effort by public health authorities to suppress the lab leak theory for political or national security purposes. Accordingly, 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.
From Newsmax:
The allegations against Fauci come after a whistleblower, a senior-level CIA officer, claimed to Congress that the agency had offered to pay off analysts who had found that COVID-19 most likely leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.
According to Wenstrup and Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chair Mike Turner, R-Ohio, the analysts were allegedly asked to report instead that the virus jumped from animals to humans.
In June, the U.S. intelligence community declassified a 10-page report on the origins of COVID-19, which found “biosafety concerns” and “genetic engineering” taking place at the Wuhan facility but that agencies had assessed that the virus wasn’t genetically engineered.
Dr. Anthony Fauci was allegedly "escorted" secretly into CIA headquarters and tried to influence the agency's investigation into the origins of COVID-19, claims Rep. Brad Wenstrup, the chairman of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. https://t.co/5DCau8DUgb
