CHAIRMAN RAND PAUL, M.D. U.S. SENATE COMMITTEE ON HOMELAND SECURITY & GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS Chairman Rand Paul is releasing new documents from the Committee's ongoing investigation which reveal Dr. Anthony Fauci's deep connections to the national security apparatus, which positioned him to influence the COVID-19 origins debate across the scientific community, the intelligence community, and the public. The release follows the Committee's May 13, 2026 hearing with CIA Whistleblower James Erdman, who testified that Fauci steered analysts working on the Intelligence Community's COVID-19 origins assessment toward the NIH funded scientists behind the Proximal Origin paper. 2003-2020 AUGUST 2003 Fauci's feedback incorporated into a published National Intelligence Council paper on SARS as a formal reviewer. NOVEMBER 2003 Fauci received a copy of a CIA report titled "The Darker Bioweapons Future," which warned that pathogens could be genetically engineered to be more dangerous. SEPTEMBER 2007 Fauci invited by Robert Joseph and Ash Carter to meet with an outside review panel commissioned to look at future directions for DTRA's CWMD activities. FAUCI'S TIES TO THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY PREDATED COVID BY NEARLY TWO DECADES MARCH 2020 Fauci is invited to speak at the Spring 2020 meeting of JASON -- a secretive external advisory group that advises the national security agencies. JANUARY 31 Kristian Andersen alerts Fauci to concerns about the virus's furin cleavage site; Fauci urged Andersen to assemble scientists to evaluate the issue and, if they agreed, report it to the FBI and MI5. FEBRUARY 1 AM -- Fauci informed that the National Academies will convene a call with gene-editing and coronavirus experts on February 3. PM -- Fauci joins a call with a group of scientists convened to discuss concerns that the virus FEBRUARY 3 Fauci participates in the National Academies call to "determine the origins of 2019-nCoV", which included Andersen, Peter Daszak, Ralph Baric, and federal officials from the intelligence community and other MARCH 6 Andersen tells Fauci and then-NIH Director Francis Collins that Nature Medicine will publish the Proximal Origin paper thanking them for their "advice and leadership." Collins forwards the email with NIH, noting he and DR. FAUCI HELPED STEER THE EARLY COVID-19 ORIGINS DEBATE THROUGH NIAID-FUNDED EXPERTS MARCH 17 Nature Medicine publishes "The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2," concluding "[o]ur analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus." looked engineered; government agencies. several of the participants then begin drafting what later became the Proximal Origin paper. Fauci helped "but are appropriately not mentioned explicitly." FAUCI THEN FED THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY THE VERY "SCIENCE" HE HELPED ORCHESTRATE MAY 26 JUNE JUNE9 JUNE 21 JUNE 28 President Biden ordered the Intelligence Community to conduct a 90-day review of the origins of COVID-19. JULY The National Security Council (NSC) convened a classified briefing for Fauci. HHS worked to bring Fauci into a Deputies Committee meeting so sensitive it required onetime read-ins "through two IC agencies" for roughly nine compartments. AUGUST 13 Following a "challenging briefing" weeks before, NSC notifies Fauci that a "read file" was prepared to review "in line with what has been provided to other senior Administration officials and the President", which could not leave "the complex." AUGUST 25 The Intelligence Community requested HHS/NIH share information relevant to its ongoing assessment. A day after a classified reading-room session, Fauci forwarded the NSC a new preprint by the same Proximal Origin authors -- Andersen, Bob Garry, Eddie Holmes, Jeremy Farrar, Andrew Rambaut -- calling it the work of "a group of highly qualified virologists" that "summarizes what I said yesterday," and asked for it to be shared. A DoD whistleblower filed an IG complaint over EcoHealth's 2018 DARPA DEFUSE proposal with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Ralph Baric, and others to insert a furin cleavage site into a chimeric virus. Twelve days later, the NSC invited Fauci to review a "very interesting report" on the "same topic as before" that they believed would be worth his time. Fauci later said the report was "important" and told his staff he would go down to the White House to read it.
