The former head of the Trump administration's investigation into COVID-19's origins told Congress today that the CIA actively frustrated his work by withholding records, retaliating against agency personnel who cooperated with the investigation, and surveilling investigators' computer and phone usage and contact with whistleblowers.
"These were Americans being spied upon illegally while executing duties directed by the president and under the director of National Intelligence," James Erdman III, a current CIA officer who led the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) investigation into COVID's origins, told the Senate's Homeland Security Committee today.
Additionally, Erdman claimed that the CIA had suppressed its own analysts' assessment that COVID came from a lab leak and retaliated against them when they stuck to this conclusion.
In January 2025, the CIA, now helmed by new Trump-appointed director John Ratcliffe, said publicly that it now assessed a lab leak as the most likely origin point for COVID. Previously, the agency had been noncommittal.

A whole lot of people need the electric chair.
absolutely nothing will come of this. Even Q won’t pen a quatrain about it
YES
But AI requires too much electricity to spare any current for “ol’ sparky”. Hang ‘em (good use for old bungie cords), drawn and quarter them (the horses need the exercise), firing squad them (new recruits need the target practice), or vax them (bwahahaha!).
“absolutely nothing will come of this. Even Q won’t pen a quatrain about it”
Agreed. The deep state is global and very powerful. I’m very surprised that they haven’t managed to bring down Trump. It’s a testament to the strength and clean record of Donald Trump.
He’s also learned a thing or two from last time, and his pirate crew has his back.
Of course they spied. It’s the CIA, who has repeatedly demonstrated they follow no laws and are an arm of the deep state. They don’t answer to anyone except the deep state, and that includes the president.
yes, because if they admit that the United States had something to do with Covid, which it did, then it would open the floodgates of suing. Quintillions of dollars. Would be just the beginning. Which is why none of these people will ever even be mildly inconvenienced.
They’re “whistleblowers” when our side brings up some facts about far left government fraud. They’re “EXPERTS” when the far-left nut Luigis makes allegations against Americans.
Sort of an admission, no?
Has anybody in the CIA been fired lately? I'll make a wild guess.
Well, I could say that I beat you by half an hour, but suspect that we’re in different time zones entirely.
