Information emerged suggesting that crucial data linking COVID-19’s origins to a Chinese laboratory leak was excluded from discussions with President Joe Biden and omitted from a final intelligence report in May 2021.
The final assessment concluded that the virus originated naturally rather than through genetic engineering at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, aligning with views promoted by public health officials, including then-NIAID director and Biden’s chief medical adviser, Dr. Anthony Fauci.
FBI was not allowed to brief President Joe Biden on evidence that suggested Covid-19 was caused by a lab leak, ex-scientist for US intelligence agency claims

A detailed analysis by three Defense Intelligence Agency scientists from the National Center for Medical Intelligence uncovered significant connections to China. The team, consisting of John Hardham, Robert Cutlip, and Jean-Paul Chretien, made several key discoveries.
Their findings revealed that the COVID virus’s spike protein had been documented in Chinese research from 2008 and developed at the Wuhan Institute. They also found that Dr. Shi Zhengli and her team at WIV had received training in Galveston, Texas, on coronavirus genome assembly techniques. Additionally, they discovered that Chinese military researcher Zhou Yusen had filed for a COVID vaccine patent unusually early – on February 24, 2020 – before later dying in a fall from the Wuhan laboratory roof.
“The scientists who had the subject matter expertise were silenced,” one source told the New York Post, adding that Biden and others had remained “completely unwitting” that the virus had likely been leaked from a laboratory.
These revelations were excluded when Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines compiled her report on the pandemic’s origins. Intelligence leaders also prevented the scientists from sharing their findings with Congress or challenging a May 2020 paper that dismissed the lab leak theory.
The scientists were instructed not to communicate their discoveries to the FBI, despite it being the only intelligence agency supporting the lab leak theory. FBI scientist Jason Bannan and his team were excluded from the White House briefing. “Being the only agency that assessed that a laboratory origin was more likely, and the agency that expressed the highest level of confidence in its analysis of the source of the pandemic, we anticipated the FBI would be asked to attend the briefing,” Bannan stated.

Haines informed Biden that most intelligence agencies supported the animal-to-human transmission theory, backed by four intelligence agencies and the National Intelligence Council under her supervision. The CIA and two other agencies maintained a neutral position.
While a spokesperson from the Director of National Intelligence Office maintained that diverse perspectives were considered despite limited agency representation at presidential briefings, Bannan argues that the incomplete presentation of evidence necessitates a renewed investigation into the pandemic’s origins, suggesting that “what ended up on the intelligence community’s cutting-room floor needs to be re-examined.”
