A CIA whistleblower has accused Dr Anthony Fauci of intentionally covering up the likely laboratory origins of Covid-19. James Erdman III, a serving CIA officer, delivered the claims under oath to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Wednesday.
Erdman alleged that Fauci deliberately influenced the intelligence community's assessment to steer it away from the Wuhan lab-leak hypothesis. The testimony, given as of 14 May 2026, has once again placed the contentious issue of the pandemic's source at the centre of political and scientific discussion.
