"Never to be outdone, in May 2020, Fauci told National Geographic that this virus “could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated.” Could not. He left no room for doubt:

"Everything about the stepwise evolution over time strongly indicates that [this virus] evolved in nature and then jumped species"

That's not a refutation to the poster's question. They are asking about the documents linked on that page, not what Dr. Fauci said...

In my opinion, anybody can just make documents and stamp some names to make them look credible. Are the documents confirmed sources or not?

At the request of Committee Republicans and pursuant to the Seven Member Rule, the Department of Health and Human Services made unredacted versions available for an in camera review but not available to the public.

Sus.

If Fauci denies it, and Twitter censors it, it makes me consider it slightly more credible (if unproven)

Why?

That's not rational thinking or skepticism, it's just blind tribalism.

If Fauci told you not to jump off a cliff, and Twitter said the same, would you do it?

If he told me the sky was blue, I'd at least go check.
