Sen. Rand Paul says he has released documents indicating U.S. authorities stopped a border inspection of Peter Daszak, a researcher linked to gain-of-function work associated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. According to the available reporting, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) flagged Daszak as a high person of interest because of his connections to Wuhan-lab research. The claim is that the FBI intervened after the CBP flag, resulting in the inspection being halted. Fox News reports that CBP identified Daszak as a high person of interest and that the FBI’s involvement prevented the inspection from proceeding as flagged. Yahoo News also frames the release as evidence that the FBI halted the border process tied to alleged Wuhan lab links. The reports focus on the documentation released by Paul and the sequence of actions among federal agencies, but they do not provide further verified details in the excerpts provided here. The materials are presented as Paul’s account of what the documents show about the handling of Daszak at the border.
