FBI Expands Inquiry into COVID-19 Origins, Requesting Records from Scientists

The FBI and federal prosecutors have intensified their investigation into COVID-19's origins, seeking phone, email, grant, and payment records from at least eight scientists, including Dr. Anthony Fauci. This escalation, reportedly driven by a former FBI deputy director, is perceived by many scientists as an attempt to target political opponents and shift blame for the pandemic. This development highlights ongoing scrutiny of the pandemic's beginnings and government research.
