Summary
Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, released declassified records detailing U.S. funding of over 120 biological laboratories across 30 countries. The documents validate concerns about U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine, which Gabbard had previously raised. The records include briefing slides detailing U.S. involvement in Ukraine’s laboratory network, listing pathogens studied or stored, and U.S.-funded training and construction projects. The declassification is likely to reignite debate over government transparency and the scope of U.S.-funded biological research overseas.
