The Trump administration has allegedly 'found' the cell phone Dr Anthony Fauci used during the Covid pandemic, the president's intelligence head revealed.
FBI director Kash Patel revealed on the latest episode of the Joe Rogan Experience that he and leaders like Senator Rand Paul have been on the hunt for any devices Fauci used while advising Americans during the pandemic.
Patel said while Paul and health secretary Robert F Kennedy 'are doing a great job' finding the origins of Covid, the team had struggled for years to find Fauci's phone and other devices.
But this week, the team 'had a great breakthrough.'
Patel told Rogan the FBI had just found a phone Fauci used at the time, mere days before the podcast was filmed.
It's unclear exactly when the phone was used and how they verified it belonged to Fauci. Patel did not specify how they seized it or what the team's 'multiple investigations' thus far on the origins of Covid have found.
He also cautioned Americans 'shouldn't jump to the conclusion that everything's in there' and that incriminating data could have been deleted.
However, he called the bombshell 'a victory for the American people' and said his team is immediately working to comb through any data on the device.
Patel said: 'We found it, and at least we can tell the American people we've been looking because it is of public importance to figure out, did that guy lie? Did he intentionally mislead the world and cause countless deaths?
'We owe those answers to the American people, and the best evidence ever is always the people's evidence who created it. So now we're going to go and exploit those hard drives.'
'We did find it, we're not done, we're still looking and we're on the case.'
Patel did not specify how his team got the old phone or how they verified it was Fauci's. Generally, a warrant is required to seize a cell phone, even for a government official.
There are no publicly available warrants out against Fauci currently.
Mounting evidence has suggested Covid may have originated in a lab in Wuhan, China, with some reports estimated '80 to 95 percent certainty.'
The Chinese government has always denied the lab-leak theory and maintained Covid was the product of an animal spillover.
American agencies like the FBI and CIA believe a lab leak is the most likely possibility. Patel did not say on the podcast what he thinks.
Dr Richard Ebright, a professor of chemical biology at Rutgers University, previously told DailyMail.com: 'The main points are clear: All informed persons - without exception - knew by early 2020 that SARS-CoV-2 likely entered humans through a research-related incident in Wuhan.
'But most chose to lie or to stay silent.'
Fauci has denied all accusations of Covid being 'covered up' or originating from a lab.
Patel said: 'My mission has always been to put out the truth, whatever the consequences, whoever it's against.
