New evidence has emerged that links Fauci to a high-level bribery scheme that sought to bury allegations of a Wuhan lab leak in the early days of the pandemic.

The 91-page document, released Tuesday by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), accuses senior aides of running a “shadow presidency” during former President Joe Biden’s final months in office.

Biden’s handlers are also accused of using the president’s autopen to issue official pardons without lawful authorization.

Among those pardons was Fauci’s, quietly approved at 10:30 p.m. in the final hours of Biden’s presidency by then–White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, with no cameras, no announcement, and no presidential signature in person.

Comer’s team now says that all executive actions signed by autopen are “constitutionally void,” meaning Fauci’s pardon may carry no legal standing. ...

In what investigators are calling “damning” new evidence, documents released alongside the report reveal that Fauci was escorted by former CIA Director Gina Haspel into CIA headquarters — with no official record of entry or clearance log.

Once inside, Fauci allegedly participated in efforts to bribe CIA analysts to influence the agency’s internal review of the true origins of the virus.

The report states these actions were designed to “influence media narratives and spread misinformation and disinformation,” resulting in widespread public mistrust of legacy outlets that parroted the CIA’s conclusions.

“There was collusion. There was a conspiracy,” the report declares flatly.

The findings directly contradict years of denials from Fauci and intelligence officials who insisted there was “no evidence” linking the virus to U.S.-funded research in Wuhan.
