FBI Director Kash Patel claimed Friday that there was a recent “breakthrough” in the COVID-19 origins probe after recovering the devices, including phones, that Dr. Anthony Fauci used in the earliest days of the pandemic.
Fauci, one of the primary medical leaders during the deadly pandemic, is being investigated as part of the larger inquiry into how COVID started and America’s response.
Patel told podcaster Joe Rogan that the FBI originally couldn’t locate any of the devices Fauci used during the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 — but they apparently turned up just days ago.
“They had always been looking for phones and devices he used while he was back in Trump one [the first Trump administration] during COVID, and nobody had found it until two days ago,” Patel said during an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
However, Patel cautioned that the content on the devices might be inconsequential — or even long gone.
“Everybody listening to us shouldn’t jump to the conclusion [that] everything’s in there. Maybe it’s deleted, maybe it’s not, but at least we found it, and at least now we can tell people that we have been looking because it is of public importance.”
Fauci has come under heavy fire since the pandemic for his flip-flopping policies on public safety, mainly by Republican stalwarts, including President Trump.
The worst wave of the pandemic, stretching from March 2020 through the summer, came during the final months of Trump’s first term in office. --->READ MORE HERE
FBI Director Kash Patel said in an interview this week that his agency made a “breakthrough” as it continues to investigate former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, a key player in the U.S.’s early response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the same time, Patel cautioned Fauci’s critics from expecting too much.
“We just had a great breakthrough this week on Fauci,” Patel told podcaster Joe Rogan in an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” released Friday, explaining the FBI had recovered phones used by Fauci early in the pandemic.
“They had always been looking for phones and devices he used while he was back in Trump one [the first Trump administration] during COVID, and nobody had found it until two days ago.”
“Everybody listening to us shouldn’t jump to the conclusion [that] everything’s in there,” he added. “Maybe it’s deleted, maybe it’s not, but at least we found it, and at least now we can tell people that we have been looking because it is of public importance.”
President Trump and his allies have long accused Fauci of misleading the government on its handling of the pandemic and hiding the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to relevant/related stories and resources:
