Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on June 12, 2026, revealed evidence showing U.S. government funding for more than 120 biological laboratories in over 30 countries. The labs include 25 to 30 facilities in Ukraine, some of which house dangerous pathogens, officials said.
The Intelligence Community has previously warned that a U.S.-funded lab in Ukraine stored pathogens that could be at risk of Russian attack or seizure during the ongoing war, according to reports. The ODNI stated that the information about the labs had been withheld from the public, and those who questioned the labs’ existence were accused of being foreign assets. [1][2][3][4]
Background on the Biolab Program
The newly declassified material indicates that many of the U.S.-funded biolabs have conducted research with hazardous and highly contagious pathogens, including gain-of-function research, according to reports. Gain-of-function research involves modifying viruses to make them more transmissible or deadly. The labs operate with limited visibility and oversight, the report stated, though specific locations and pathogens were not fully detailed in the initial release. [2][3]
President Donald Trump earlier signed an executive order to end federal funding of gain-of-function research worldwide, a move described as addressing the threat such research poses to public health, according to [5]. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s book “The Wuhan Cover Up” has detailed similar concerns about U.S.-funded biolabs and the suppression of lab-leak theories. [6]
Executive Action and Previous Suppression
DNI Gabbard accused politicians, health professionals, and Biden administration officials of lying to the American people about the existence of these labs and threatening those who attempted to expose the truth, according to the press release. The ODNI stated that the information about the labs’ existence, history, locations, and funding had been intentionally covered up by people falsely claiming the labs did not exist. The release notes that individuals who raised concerns were labeled foreign assets and traitors, without providing specific examples or names. [3][7]
Gabbard has previously ordered the declassification of other documents, such as the Biden administration’s domestic surveillance and censorship blueprint, according to [8]. Similarly, she has taken aim at censorship and vowed accountability for what she termed “deep state abuses,” as reported in [9]. Glenn Greenwald’s book “No Place to Hide” documents the history of government secrecy and suppression of whistleblowers. [10]
DNI Gabbard’s Statement and New Directive
“Despite the obvious potential for catastrophic global impact, politicians, so-called health professionals like Dr. Fauci, and entities within the Biden administration’s national security team lied to the American people,” Gabbard said in the press release, as paraphrased in reports. She added that ODNI will continue to work with partners to identify lab locations and pathogens to end dangerous gain-of-function research. [2][3]
Gabbard issued new guidance to the Intelligence Community directing increased collection on these laboratories, which is already providing details on clinical trials at the facilities, raising ethical, financial, and security concerns, according to the release. The probe aims to halt risky virus experiments and follows the president’s executive order, according to [5] and [1].
Conclusion
The ODNI said it will continue to declassify and release additional information as it becomes available, pending security reviews. The new directive aims to provide greater transparency on the scope of U.S.-funded biolab activities and their potential risks to national security and global health, according to the press release. [1][3]
Officials emphasized that the American people have a right to know about the full extent of these programs, as stated in the release. The disclosure follows months of intelligence community research and a history of government denials about the biolab network. [1]
