Outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Friday revealed there are more than 120 taxpayer-funded biolabs located in 30 countries, and the Biden administration "threatened" people who attempted to expose their existence. Gabbard alleges an intentional cover-up by powerful figures, including Dr. Anthony Fauci and the Biden administration, regarding the existence and gain-of-function research conducted at these labs, some in high-risk areas such as Ukraine.

Now, President Trump clearly understands the serious threat dangerous gain-of-function research poses to the American people, and this is why he took decisive
