Dr. Anthony Fauci reportedly held secret meetings with CIA officials where he sought to “influence” the probe into the origins of Covid, a House investigation has found.
According to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, Fauci was “smuggled” into the CIA’s headquarters in Langley, Virginia “without a record of entry.”
However, investigators uncovered evidence proving that Fauci met with CIA officials and “participated in the analysis” to “influence” the agency’s Covid origins probe.

Fauci’s alleged CIA meeting was revealed in a Tuesday night letter from Subcommittee Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-OH).
Wenstrup wrote the letter to the Inspector General of Democrat President Joe Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
In the letter, Wenstrup demands documents, communications, and other evidence between Fauci and the CIA.
What difference does it make to @CIA whether the pandemic originated at a Chinese lab or in nature?🤔
Now, same question for Dr. Fauci.

This new allegation has emerged just two weeks after reports showed that the CIA bribed analysts to say Covid did not originate in a Chinese lab.
According to a “senior-level” CIA whistleblower, the agency “tried to pay off six analysts who found SARS-CoV-2 likely originated in a Wuhan lab if they changed their position and said the virus jumped from animals to humans.”
Wenstrup highlighted the whistleblower’s statement in the letter to the HHS IG.
“According to the whistleblower, at the end of its review, six of the seven members of the Team believed the intelligence and science were sufficient to make a low confidence assessment that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China,” the letter from Wenstrup reads.
“The seventh member of the Team, who also happened to be the most senior, was the lone officer to believe COVID-19 originated through zoonosis.
“The whistleblower further contends that to come to the eventual public determination of uncertainty, the other six members were given a significant monetary incentive to change their position,” the letter continues.
Wenstrup notes that the analysts were “experienced officers with significant scientific expertise.”
Wenstrup and Turner also asked for documents and communications between the CIA and other federal agencies, including the State Department, the FBI, the Department of HHS, and the Energy Department.
In a separate letter, the House committee leaders identified former CIA Chief Operating Officer Andrew Makridis as having “played a central role” in the Covid investigation and asked him to sit for a transcribed interview.
In June, the US Intelligence Community declassified a 10-page report on Covid origins.
The report found “biosafety concerns” and “genetic engineering” taking place in Wuhan.
However, the Intelligence Community claims that most of its “agencies assess that SARS-CoV-2 was not genetically engineered.”
As the Committee noted on Tuesday:
Dr. Fauci’s questionable presence at the CIA, coupled with recently uncovered evidence that he, Dr. Fauci, “prompted” the drafting of “Proximal Origin” — the infamous paper that was used to attempt to “disprove” the lab leak theory — lends credence to heightened concerns about the promotion of a false COVID-19 origins narrative by multiple federal government agencies.
Chairman Wenstrup is seeking all documents and communications related to Dr. Fauci’s access to CIA facilities and CIA employees as it relates to these allegations.
Also, after becoming aware of additional information, the Select Subcommittee is requesting Special Agent Brett Rowland appear for a transcribed interview regarding Dr. Fauci’s purported movements to and from the CIA.
As mounting evidence continues to imply that federal government officials covered-up the origins of COVID-19, investigating any improper influence will ensure future accountability of not only the intelligence community, but also public health officials.
