New documents are raising explosive new questions about Anthony Fauci, gain-of-function research, federal records and the CIA.

A newly surfaced 2012 email reportedly shows Fauci instructing an NIH subordinate to “delete this e-mail and then delete from the deleted file” during the controversy surrounding experimental H5N1 bird-flu research. Separate documents reveal a longstanding collaboration between Fauci’s NIAID and the CIA’s Biological Technology Center involving forensic microbiology, biodefense research and sensitive biological-threat data.

The revelations arrive just weeks after former NIAID senior adviser David Morens pleaded guilty to participating in a conspiracy to conceal federal records connected to coronavirus research and after Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment during his July 29 Senate testimony before Chairman Rand Paul.

Tonight on Restricted Republic, Justus Knight connects the documents, the timeline, the CIA relationship, Fauci’s previous congressional testimony and the growing fight over what Americans were — and weren’t — told about dangerous biological research.
