According to declassified documents released last week by outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Many are currently or have previously engaged in research using “hazardous and highly contagious pathogens,” according to a statement. About a third are located in Ukraine and are “vulnerable to longstanding threats of Russian attack, seizure, or damage.”

The U.S. has funded over 120 biolabs in 30-plus countries, according to declassified documents released by outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
“Many of these U.S. government-funded biolabs are currently or have previously engaged in research using hazardous and highly contagious pathogens, in some cases to include dangerous Gain-of-Function research, with very little visibility or oversight,” Gabbard’s office said in a statement.
About a third of the biolabs are located in Ukraine and are “vulnerable to longstanding threats of Russian attack, seizure, or damage,” Gabbard stated.
Some experts told The Defender the documents didn’t reveal anything new. “This material has been public knowledge since at least 2005,” said former pharmaceutical research and development executive Sasha Latypova.
Gain-of-function research, which increases the transmissibility or virulence of viruses, has been linked to the development of COVID-19.
RadioFreeEurope/RadioLiberty described the document release as an “unusual move” coming just days before Gabbard’s June 19 departure.
According to the New York Post, Gabbard released the documents in response to President Donald Trump’s 2025 executive order pausing federal funding of gain-of-function research until a new federal policy is in place.
“President Trump understands the serious threat dangerous Gain-of-Function research poses to the American people,” Gabbard’s news release stated.
Gabbard targeted Dr. Anthony Fauci, whom she said “lied to the American people about the existence of U.S.-funded and supported biolabs.”
Fox News reported that Fauci “long studied gain-of-function” but has “repeatedly denied the government funded that type of research.”
