COVID-19 Release Index 2016 DNI Gabbard
This single-page unclassified index catalogs the documents in the ODNI's 18 June 2026 release of COVID-19 origins materials, hosted on dni.gov under a page titled 'Fauci Funded Wuhan Lab Research That Sparked COVID.' The index enumerates 67 numbered items spanning 2015 to 2026, including a 2020-05-27 Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory assessment on 'COVID-19 Lab Modification Conditions Present at WIV,' the 'Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2' publication, a 2013 iGEM Wuhan team entry, State Department cables on China's first BSL-4 laboratory, a 2015 CIA intelligence assessment (title redacted), congressional and whistleblower correspondence, and numerous internal emails referencing Dr. Anthony Fauci, EcoHealth Alliance's Peter Daszak, HPSCI/SSCI briefings, gain-of-function research, and press coverage of the lab-leak hypothesis. The document itself is an index and does not contain the substantive contents of the listed materials; the framing that Wuhan lab research 'sparked COVID' reflects the releasing agency's page title rather than a settled scientific determination. Items are drawn from multiple agencies and cover both natural-origin and lab-leak lines of inquiry.
