According to New York Post<\/em>, Gabbard<\/strong> did not mince words in her Friday statement, condemning politicians and health officials for what she described as systematic deception about the scope and nature of these facilities.<\/p>\n

Politicians, so-called health professionals like Dr. Fauci, and entities within the Biden administration’s national security team lied to the American people<\/em>, Gabbard declared, adding that those who attempted to expose the truth faced threats and intimidation.<\/p>\n

The Director of National Intelligence pledged continued efforts to identify lab locations, catalog the pathogens they contain, and terminate dangerous gain-of-function research that poses risks to Americans and populations worldwide.<\/p>\n

Investigation Follows Presidential Directive<\/h2>\n

The investigation was launched pursuant to President Trump’s executive order targeting gain-of-function research, which involves enhancing the transmissibility of viruses and other pathogens.<\/p>\n

Office of the Director of National Intelligence documents indicate that many government-funded biolabs have engaged in research with hazardous and highly contagious pathogens, including dangerous gain-of-function work, with minimal visibility or oversight.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian Labs Hold One-Third of Total<\/h2>\n

Approximately one-third of the identified biolabs are situated in Ukraine, where they face heightened risk of compromise due to Russia’s ongoing military operations, as New York Post<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n

These Ukrainian facilities have stored pathogens with biological weapons potential since the Soviet era. American cooperation with Ukrainian scientists has focused on containing these risks.<\/p>\n

The declassified files list stored pathogens including anthrax, tularemia, tuberculosis, swine fever, MERS, SARS, Marburg, Ebola, Lassa, plague, and rickettsia, among others.<\/p>\n

Four of the labs alone cost American taxpayers over 9 million dollars, records show.<\/p>\n

Defense Department’s Threat Reduction Program<\/h2>\n

The Defense Department’s Cooperative Threat Reduction Program, which supervised this work, has long studied pathogens under the stated goals of preventing future outbreaks and strengthening American biosecurity.<\/p>\n

Russian authorities have accused some Ukrainian research conducted with American partnership of reaching biological weapons development levels, according to the declassified materials.<\/p>\n

Biden Administration Contradictions<\/h2>\n

Victoria Nuland<\/strong>, Biden’s Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs, testified before Congress in March 2022 that Ukraine possessed biological research facilities that concerned American officials given the risk of Russian forces seizing control.<\/p>\n

Other administration officials dismissed these claims the following day, creating a confusing public narrative.<\/p>\n

ODNI officials previously acknowledged this reversal was part of an Information Resilience strategy designed to shape public narrative, mitigate foreign malign influence, and downplay American connections to the research.<\/p>\n

The American-Ukrainian research involved partnerships with the Department of Agriculture, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and World Health Organization.<\/p>\n

The declassified documents did not list other countries involved in the biological research programs.<\/p>\n

Trump Administration Action<\/h2>\n

President Trump signed an executive action in May 2025 banning federal funding for gain-of-function research in China, Iran, and other nations lacking proper oversight mechanisms.<\/p>\n

The disclosure has reignited debate about transparency and accountability in government-funded biological research programs operating on foreign soil with American taxpayer dollars.<\/p>\n
