In explosive testimony before the Senate Homeland Security Committee Wednesday, a CIA official accused the agency of engaging in a COVID coverup well into President Trump’s second administration.
In his opening statement, James E. Erdman III alleged that the agency refused to cooperate with a DNI investigation, spied on investigators and retaliated against investigators.
Erdman testified that he was assigned to lead the Director’s Initiative Group (DIG) from March 2025 to April 2026 and investigate “COVID’s origins, anomalous health incidents, and unidentified anomalous phenomena.”
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard established the DIG task force in April 2025 to execute President Trump’s executive orders aimed at rebuilding trust and restoring transparency within the US Intelligence Community (IC).
“I am here today to discuss the COVID cover-up, the national security implications associated with the DIG’s investigative findings and CIA’s refusal to comply with lawful oversight, as well as how we remedy these problems, ” Erdman declared.
The whistleblower is a decorated officer with “decades of intelligence and national security experience,” according to Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the chairman of committee.
