CIA Accused of Illegally Spying on Tulsi Gabbard and Interfering with DNI Investigations in Bombshell Report and Whistleblower Testimony 

A bombshell new report from investigative journalist Catherine Herridge reveals how the CIA has stonewalled Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and spied on her team’s efforts to investigate public scandals and government corruption. 

The report comes amid Gabbard’s resignation as Director of National Intelligence, which she announced on Friday.

Gabbard cited her husband’s rare form of bone cancer for her resignation. Still, this comes as tensions between the CIA and ODNI gained public attention earlier this month after CIA whistleblower James Erdman III testified that the CIA had seized documents related to the JFK assassination and MKUltra — the CIA’s experimentation on human behavior and mind control through the use of drugs — from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) fired off a preservation letter to the CIA, demanding that all existing and future records related to the taken items be preserved. A Director of National Intelligence spokeswoman later denied that a “raid” occurred as the claim circulated.

Canada’s Military Punished Whistleblowers Who Flagged Illegal COVID Speech Monitoring

The Canadian Armed Forces reprimanded soldiers who warned that an order to spy on citizens during COVID-19 could violate intelligence-gathering rules. The soldiers were right. The military punished them anyway.

Internal records and emails obtained by CBC News show that on March 11, 2020, a team called Joint Operational Effects (JOE) was ordered to create anonymous social media accounts and scour the internet for information about Canadians.

Under the direction of Col. Chris Henderson, the team produced dozens of reports between March 19 and June 5, tracking what the federal Conservative, NDP, and Bloc Québécois parties were saying about the pandemic.

The Canadian military was monitoring opposition political parties using anonymous accounts created specifically for surveillance.

At least two JOE team members pushed back. They emailed their chain of command, warning that creating anonymous accounts without authorization, while working from home on personal computers, could breach intelligence directives.

One soldier wrote to Maj. John Zwicewicz on March 12, 2020: “Given the sensitivity around social media and military use I have concerns about this.”

They added: “My concern is that by creating these accounts without following proper procedure would come close to, or cross the line set out in the policy.” Another asked to go into the office because they felt it “represented a serious risk” to do the work at home.

Zwicewicz claimed a legal adviser had approved the activities and ordered the group to “cease barrack room lawyering” and get back to work. The team was formally reprimanded more than a week after raising concerns. A source told CBC News that within months, some members quit or were medically released.

The people who raised alarms about potentially illegal surveillance of Canadian citizens got punished. The people who ordered the surveillance kept their positions.

CIA Whistleblower Fears Retaliation, as Rand Paul Promises More COVID Cover-Up News Next Week

A CIA whistleblower who testified under subpoena that Dr. Anthony Fauci led a multi-agency cover-up of evidence that COVID-19 leaked from a lab is afraid the agency will retaliate against him, his attorney told The Defender today.

James E. Erdman III, a CIA senior operations officer, testified Wednesday that “Dr. Fauci’s role in the cover-up was intentional” and resulted in the Biden administration releasing an August 2021 report that was inconclusive about the virus’s origins — even though intelligence agencies by then had evidence of a lab leak.

Erdman’s attorney, Carol Thompson, told The Defender that Erdman is “concerned that the CIA will use bureaucratic processes and alleged secrecy requirements to undermine his testimony and obfuscate the truth.”

Thompson’s comments echo those she made to reporters after Wednesday’s hearing, in the presence of Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who convened the hearing as part of his ongoing investigation into COVID-19’s origins.

Paul told reporters his team is continuing its review of evidence — and that more conflict-of-interest revelations are coming “next week.”

He also addressed the May 11 deadline to indict Fauci for perjury for allegedly lying to Congress, saying that Fauci may still face indictment.

In May 2021, Fauci told Congress the National Institutes of Health and the agency he led, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), never funded gain-of-function research. The five-year statute of limitations for indicting Fauci for his May 2021 testimony expired on Monday.

However, Fauci provided similar testimony in July 2021 — the deadline for indicting him for lies told during that testimony is July 2026.

“There are a lot of questions and I’ve sent several criminal referrals … on Anthony Fauci, and I hope they will be pursued,” Paul said.

CIA Whistleblower: Fauci Led Multi-Agency Cover-Up of COVID Lab Leak Evidence

A CIA whistleblower today told the U.S. Senate that Dr. Anthony Fauci intentionally helped cover up evidence showing that COVID-19 emerged from a Chinese laboratory that worked with U.S.-funded scientists — some of whom were involved with gain-of-function research and coronaviruses months before the pandemic.

“Dr. Fauci’s role in the cover-up was intentional,” said James E. Erdman III, a senior operations officer for the CIA. Erdman testified during a hearing organized by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs, chaired by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).

Erdman, who worked for the federal Director’s Initiatives Group (DIG) between March 2025 and April 2026, leading its investigation into COVID-19’s origins, said this position exposed him to evidence that Fauci, the CIA and other elements of the U.S. intelligence community actively covered up evidence of a COVID-19 lab leak.

He said a “small circle” of scientists was involved in the cover-up and helped promote the theory that the SARS-CoV-2 virus had a zoonotic — or natural — origin. Fauci then referred investigators from various U.S. intelligence agencies leading an interagency probe into the virus’s origins to the same scientists, Erdman said.

Erdman said the scientists were linked to gain-of-function research, which increases the virulence or transmissibility of viruses and is used in vaccine development.

BOMBSHELL CIA Testimony: Fauci Accused of INTENTIONALLY Burying COVID Lab Leak Evidence

A CIA operations officer provided explosive sworn testimony Wednesday before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, accusing Dr. Anthony Fauci of directly intervening in the intelligence community’s review of COVID-19’s origins.

James Erdman III, a veteran CIA special operations officer, told senators that in August 2021 the intelligence community was on the verge of concluding the virus most likely leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China. Days later, that position reversed with no clear explanation.

Erdman stated under oath: “Dr. Fauci’s role in the cover-up was intentional. Dr. Fauci influenced the analytical process and findings by leveraging his position to ensure the IC consulted with a conflicted list of curated subject matter experts, public health officials, and scientists.”

He added that intelligence leaders “purposefully downplayed the lab origin” and “knew the virus came from Wuhan but pushed the natural origin narrative anyway.” Erdman testified that CIA scientists had circulated papers noting “all the conditions were present for a lab leak,” yet senior analysts ultimately buried or softened those assessments.

Senator Rand Paul pressed Erdman on the timeline. Paul described the Biden administration’s final moves as a “clean-up operation,” noting: “Scientific analysts concluded multiple times between 2021 and 2023 that a lab leak was the most likely origin of COVID-19. Yet those conclusions never shaped the official narrative… It was not until after the 2024 election that the outgoing Biden administration directed the CIA to issue an assessment not because of new intelligence, but so officials could walk out of the door claiming there was nothing left to find.”

Whistleblower: CIA suppressed ‘Lab Leak’ evidence to protect official federal narrative

Appearing before the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Wednesday, CIA whistleblower James Erdman III alleged that federal agents orchestrated a cover-up to suppress scientists who questioned the origins of COVID-19 during the initial 2020 outbreak.

Notably, no Democrats showed up for Wednesday’s committee hearing.

Erdman, a former intelligence officer and military veteran, provided his testimony just two days after the expiration of the statute of limitations for potential charges against Dr. Anthony Fauci regarding allegations that he lied to Congress in 2021.

In addition to his intelligence background, Erdman is known as the co-founder of Feds For Freedom, a grassroots organization established to challenge federal vaccine mandates and address claims of religious exemption discrimination.

Active CIA Whistleblower Set to Blow Lid Off Deep State COVID-19 Cover-Up in Explosive Senate Testimony Tomorrow – Sen. Rand Paul Reveals Intel Community Knew Lab Leak Origins for Years While American Taxpayers Funded Wuhan Research

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has confirmed to Fox News’ Bill Melugin that an active CIA employee will testify publicly and in person before his Senate Homeland Security Committee tomorrow morning, and this brave whistleblower is ready to expose how the Deep State has been lying to the American people about the origins of COVID-19 for years.

This bombshell revelation comes just days after The Gateway Pundit reported on Sen. Paul’s announcement of the May 13 hearing, where he vowed “the truth is coming” about the COVID cover-up, even as the statute of limitations expires on potential charges against Anthony Fauci and despite Joe Biden’s desperate preemptive pardon of his favorite bureaucrat on his way out the door in January 2025.

According to Melugin’s exclusive report on X:

“Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) tells me that the COVID-19 whistleblower who will testify publicly & in person before his committee tomorrow morning is an active CIA employee who will testify that the intelligence community has covered up the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic for years.

“I think this whistleblower will help to confirm that this was known, has been known for a long time, and that when the scientists at the CIA looked at this, they discovered or they concluded that the virus had come from the lab,” Sen. Paul tells me.

“What we’re going to find is that the cover up is a real thing, that there are members of the community, the intelligence community, that still don’t want the truth to come out. I’ve said the government was involved not only in funding this research, but then in trying to obscure the truth. And the truth is the US government funded research in Wuhan, China, and that research led to a virus that escaped, escaped the lab, in all likelihood accidentally.”

I asked Senator Paul for any more details on who this CIA whistleblower is ahead of tomorrow’s hearing?

“This is a brave person who’s spent a career in the CIA,” Sen. Paul said. “I don’t know how much can be revealed, but is actually famous within the community for being someone who, behind the scenes, has really helped our country.””

Senator Rand Paul: A Whistleblower’s Revelation About ‘The COVID Coverup’ is Coming, as ‘The American people want Fauci behind bars’

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is intensifying efforts to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci accountable for alleged lies to Congress regarding gain-of-function research and more.

The deadline for the statute of limitations on Fauci’s criminal referral for is Monday. Although the Trump Justice Department, led by former Attorney General Pam Bondi or acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, has not issued any public comments regarding potential charges, Paul is committed to maintain the pressure on “the COVID coverup.” He has scheduled a Senate hearing for Wednesday, May 13 at 10 a.m.

On May 6, the Senator called upon the Justice Department to “indict Fauci,” even though former President Joe Biden granted Fauci a broad preemptive pardon on his final night in office, January 19, 2025. The pardon granted by Biden and the expiration of the statute of limitations for Fauci on Monday provide protection for the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and chief medical advisor to Biden.

Last Wednesday, Paul wrote on X that “David Morens, Dr. Fauci’s top adviser, was indicted, but Fauci himself still walks free.” An hour later, he wrote: “For years, I warned that Fauci and his inner circle buried the truth about Wuhan. Now his closest adviser has been indicted.”

Former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) employee, David M. Morens was indicted at the end of last month for “deliberately concealed information and falsified records in an effort to suppress alternative theories regarding the origins of COVID-19.”

In July 2021, Paul warned Fauci, “it is a crime to lie to Congress, [creating] a felony and a five-year penalty for lying to Congress.” According to the Kentucky Senator, on Wednesday, “The truth is coming,” hinting at an impending revelation as a whistleblower is set to give public testimony regarding “the COVID cover-up.”

Ex-FBI agent turned podcaster ‘intentionally’ and ‘unsafely’ fired gun before he was ousted: memos

An ex-FBI agent turned provocative podcaster was kicked out of the bureau after he “intentionally” discharged his weapon in an “unsafe manner” on a training range while his instructor was in the line of fire, according to the bureau’s incident report obtained by Just the News and congressional testimony that challenges his self-portrayal as a whistleblower who faced retaliation.

The records, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act and from court files, show Kyle Matthew Seraphin was “permanently suspended” from the FBI on June 1,2022, just eight weeks after the alleged incident at a New Mexico gun range on April 1, 2022. The incident was deemed so reckless that he was referred to FBI internal affairs, the documents show.

Seraphin acknowledged to Just the News in an interview last year that he was “dicking around” when he fired his weapon at his supervisor’s target at the range in 2022, but he insisted the incident should not have led to his suspension and termination and that he believes he was a victim of whistleblower retaliation.

He has leveraged his story as an alleged whistleblower who exposed anti-Catholic bias and resisted the FBI’s vaccine mandate under former Director Christopher Wray to a popular anti-bureau podcast where he fashions himself as one of the bureau’s “suspendables,” a group of agents whose security clearances were suspended.

His notoriety has also landed him in a defamation lawsuit brought by current FBI Director Kash Patel’s girlfriend, whom he accused on his podcast of being an Israeli Mossad “honeypot.” His portrayal as a whistleblower is front and center in his defense motion to dismiss that litigation.

“Between late 2021 and late 2022, Mr. Seraphin gained national notoriety as a ‘whistleblower’ for refusing to participate in the FBI’s mandatory vaccine policy and what he alleged to be potential perjury by Attorney General Merrick Garland,” his motion to dismiss declares.

Remarkably, his own lawyers put the word whistleblower in quote marks in that court document.

NIH Whistleblower Exposes ‘Full Coverup Mode’ Over Fauci’s Bat Virus Mad Scientist Vincent Munster’s Monkey Bite Horror and Illegal African Pathogen Smuggling, FBI Criminal Probe Underway

The National Institutes of Health is allegedly scrambling to bury the recent explosive scandals at its high-security Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana, and a new whistleblower letter obtained by the White Coat Waste Project claims senior NIH officials in Bethesda are in “full coverup mode” to protect one of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s top virologists.

The allegations come just days after it was reported that the FBI has launched a criminal investigation into NIH scientist Vincent Munster for smuggling deadly human pathogen samples, including monkeypox virus, from Africa in his luggage without required permits or paperwork.

According to the whistleblower letter sent to taxpayer watchdog White Coat Waste, Munster, a German-born researcher long funded by Fauci’s NIAID, attempted to smuggle “dozens of vials” of viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) samples back into the United States from Africa in January.

He and two colleagues traveling with him allegedly lied to customs officials about the contents of their baggage.

The whistleblower said that NIH officials kept the entire incident quiet, refusing to inform the broader RML campus and quietly banning Munster and his colleagues from the facility.

The whistleblower states the decisions to downplay the smuggling came directly “from the main NIH campus in Bethesda” and that senior officials are now operating in “full coverup mode.”

That’s not all.

The same letter alleges that a separate lab accident at RML, first exposed by White Coat Waste in January, involved a staffer being bitten by a macaque monkey infected with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), a deadly foreign virus.
