Fauci’s subpoena comes just days after outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released documents indicating that Fauci funded gain-of-function research that led to the development and subsequent leak of COVID-19 — and that he sought to suppress evidence of the funding and the lab leak.AI Verified (Jun 23, 2026)

The quote is directly about the statement’s core claim: it says Fauci-funded gain-of-function research led to the development and leak of COVID-19, and the surrounding article frames this as evidence about COVID’s origins and a possible lab leak. That makes a pro-lab-origin stance substantially more likely than zoonotic spillover.

The author is effectively supportive of the lab-origin claim: the article says Gabbard’s documents indicated Fauci funded research that "led to the development and subsequent leak of COVID-19," and elsewhere describes research that "may have created COVID-19" plus a "possible lab leak." That is not neutral between lab leak and zoonotic spillover, even though it is framed as what the documents indicate.

The source URL is fetchable and contains the quoted sentence verbatim in the article body: “Fauci’s subpoena comes just days after outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released documents ... the lab leak.” The same page identifies the article as by Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D., dated June 23, 2026, so the quote is authentic and correctly attributed.
