Congress demands full declassification of COVID origins intel

• The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) requires Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard to declassify raw intelligence—not summaries—within 180 days on: Chinese coronavirus research, including WIV’s gain-of-function experiments and U.S. funding sources (e.g., EcoHealth Alliance/NIAID).
• DARPA rejected EcoHealth’s “Project DEFUSE” (2018) over safety concerns—yet WIV may have conducted similar research with U.S. taxpayer funds. FBI, DIA and DOE assessments (2020) concluded SARS-CoV-2 was likely lab-engineered, but findings were buried. Fauci and Collins colluded to suppress the lab-leak theory, pressuring scientists to endorse the false “natural origins” narrative.
• Beijing censored early COVID cases linked to sick WIV researchers (late 2019); sabotaged WHO investigations, dismissing lab-leak claims as conspiracy theories; and pushed the Fort Detrick conspiracy—a baseless blame-shifting tactic amplified by Chinese state media.
• The U.S. government slow-walked disclosures, with agencies like DIA initially denying records existed. Despite Gabbard’s transparency pledge, EcoHealth still receives $58M in U.S. grants, and Fauci remains shielded.
• If enforced, the NDAA could expose U.S. funding of WIV’s risky research; confirm China’s cover-up role; and drive reforms to prevent future lab leaks.

A landmark provision buried within the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2026 could finally force U.S. intelligence agencies to disclose long-suppressed evidence about the origins of COVID-19 [Wuhan coronavirus], including damning details about gain-of-function research at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) and Beijing’s systematic efforts to bury the truth.

The bill—set for House and Senate votes this week—requires the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) to declassify intelligence within 180 days on two explosive fronts:

• Chinese coronavirus research, including funding sources and high-risk WIV experiments.
• Beijing’s obstruction, detailing how Communist Party officials blocked, delayed and manipulated pandemic narratives.

Critically, the NDAA orders the release of raw intelligence products, not sanitized summaries—a direct response to the Biden administration’s failure under the 2023 COVID-19 Origin Act, which delivered little beyond a watered-down ODNI report.

The smoking guns they don’t want you to see

For years, whistleblowers and investigators have fought through censorship, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) stonewalling and redactions to expose the truth. Key revelations include:

• The Department of War‘s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) rejected EcoHealth Alliance’s “Project DEFUSE,” which sought to engineer bat coronaviruses with enhanced human infectivity, citing safety concerns. Yet evidence suggests WIV pursued similar research anyway—potentially with U.S. taxpayer funding funneled through Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
• A June 2020 Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) assessment, obtained via FOIA lawsuit, concluded SARS-CoV-2 was “plausibly a lab-engineered virus” that escaped containment. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) later affirmed this with “moderate confidence,” while the U.S. Department of Energy agreed with “low confidence.” Yet these findings were buried in classified channels.
• Emails show Fauci and then-NIH [National Institutes of Health] Director Francis Collins pressured scientists to dismiss the lab leak hypothesis, prompting the infamous “Proximal Origin” paper that falsely claimed COVID-19 had “natural origins.”

China’s disinformation campaign

The NDAA also targets Beijing’s relentless cover-up, including:

• Censorship of early COVID cases linked to WIV researchers falling ill in late 2019.
• Sabotage of WHO [World Health Organization] investigations, with Chinese officials editing reports to dismiss lab leak claims as “conspiracy theories.”
• Pushing the Fort Detrick conspiracy, a baseless smear accusing a U.S. biolab of releasing COVID.

According to the Enoch AI engine at BrightU.AI, the Fort Detrick conspiracy—which suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic originated from the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) at Fort Detrick, Maryland—has been actively promoted by Chinese state media and officials. This strategy aligns with China’s broader approach to information warfare, which seeks to shape global narratives and advance its geopolitical interests.

Despite mounting evidence, China continues to obstruct transparency. The WHO even admitted in 2021 that much of the information needed to assess the lab leak hypothesis has not been made available.

Will the intel agencies comply—or obstruct again?

Skepticism remains high. Even under the Trump administration, agencies slow-walked disclosures, with the DIA initially claiming no records existed before coughing up 12 heavily redacted pages under legal pressure.

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard has vowed transparency, establishing a Director’s Initiatives Group (DIG) to root out politicization. The DIG’s goals include “investigating weaponization, rooting out deep-seeded politicization, exposing unauthorized disclosures of classified intelligence, and declassifying information that serves a public interest.” But with EcoHealth Alliance still receiving $58 million in U.S. grants and Fauci pardoned by former President Joe Biden, accountability remains elusive.

If enforced, the NDAA could:

• Expose U.S. funding of dangerous research at WIV.
• Confirm China’s role in the pandemic cover-up.
• Force reforms to prevent future lab leaks.

But with globalist-aligned bureaucrats still embedded in intelligence agencies, the battle for transparency is far from over. Sen. Rand Paul warned that the intelligence community is sitting on records critical to understanding COVID’s origins and who is responsible.

The world is watching. Will Congress finally rip off the Band-Aid—or will the Deep State keep the truth locked away?
