Tulsi Gabbard has released documents suggesting that Dr. Anthony Fauci may have played a role in funding experiments related to the origins of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China. This release comes as intelligence officials had considered the lab leak theory early in the pandemic. Separately, Gabbard’s older brother, Batarti Gabbard, has been charged with second-degree custodial interference for allegedly attempting to lure children to his hotel room in Waikīkī by offering them money and gum. The incident, reported to police by a concerned bystander, involved Batarti asking for children’s names and writing them in a notebook. He has also faced theft charges earlier this month and is currently undergoing psychiatric treatment.
Why It Matters
