What to know

* DNI Tulsi Gabbard will release declassified COVID-19 origin intelligence documents soon.
* The release follows years of debate on the virus's origins.
* U.S. intelligence agencies were divided on COVID origins during the pandemic's early days.
* The CIA recently assessed a lab origin is more likely than a natural one.


NEWS AND ANALYSIS:

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, in the coming days, is expected to release declassified intelligence documents on the origin of the COVID-19 virus — a disclosure that comes after years of disputed and controversial assessments on whether the pandemic originated in a Chinese laboratory or came from a wild animal.

“DNI Gabbard is actively working to declassify information about the
COVID-19 pandemic before her departure on June 30,” an ODNI official told Inside the Ring.

Ms. Gabbard has cited personal reasons for stepping down and will be replaced by William J. Pulte, the head of the Federal Housing and Finance Agency, as acting director. Mr. Pulte has been asked by the president to downsize ODNI.

The
COVID-19 document release is required under a section of the fiscal 2026 Defense Authorization Act that calls for intelligence agencies to review and release information on the pandemic within 180 days. That deadline is Tuesday.

The law requires specific types of information to be made public, including research conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where several intelligence agencies believe the virus leaked.

Data on research at other medical or scientific research centers in
China must also be made public.

Also required are documents on
China’s gain-of-function research and the goal of the research that is known to have been conducted at the Wuhan laboratory.

China’s gain-of-function research included enhancing virus transmission that could be used for both medical vaccine research and biological weapons work, according to past intelligence reports.
