FBI Director Kash Patel revealed his home was swatted on Thursday, June 5, amid ongoing COVID-19 origins investigations. Patel announced a breakthrough after the FBI recovered Dr. Anthony Fauci’s phones and devices from early 2020, which were missing until days ago.
Patel discussed the finding on Joe Rogan’s podcast Friday, June 6, noting Fauci’s alleged suppression of information and the lab leak theory now viewed as plausible.
Patel cautioned content on Fauci’s devices might be incomplete or deleted but emphasized the search’s public importance.
Former President Biden pardoned Fauci during his final hours in office, sparking condemnation from President Donald Trump, who called the pardon void in March 2025.
