An active CIA officer told senators Wednesday that Dr. Anthony Fauci played a significant role in influencing intelligence officials to back away from concluding that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory leak in Wuhan, China.
James Erdman, a CIA special operations officer, testified before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that the intelligence community in August 2021 was nearing a determination that the pandemic likely stemmed from a lab leak before the assessment changed days later, reports The Daily Mail.
"Dr. Fauci's role in the cover-up was intentional," Erdman told the committee. "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."
Erdman said documentation showed the CIA was prepared to declare COVID-19 a lab leak on Aug. 12, 2021, but that position shifted by Aug. 17.
