Dr. David Morens, a senior advisor to Dr. Anthony Fauci from 1998 until 2022, is facing allegations of misconduct, including deleting federal COVID-19 records and using private emails to evade public records laws. Newly revealed emails suggest a broader conspiracy within the NIH FOIA office to assist Morens in unlawfully destroying records. The emails, obtained by congressional subpoena and released by the COVID Select Subcommittee, show Morens bragging about making emails disappear and using secret back channels to help Fauci evade transparency. Judicial Watch has filed a lawsuit against the HHS for official emails in Morens' personal account. Senator Rand Paul has requested the Department of Justice to investigate these allegations. The released emails, totaling over 150 pages, also implicate Morens in backchanneling non-public information to the EcoHealth Alliance.
