Dr. David Morens, a top adviser at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Fauci aide, is under scrutiny for allegedly using private email accounts to conduct official business related to COVID-19, potentially to avoid Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Judicial Watch has filed a lawsuit seeking the official emails of Morens, who is accused of deleting records and using secret back channels to help Dr. Anthony Fauci evade transparency. Senator Rand Paul has called for an investigation by Attorney General Merrick Garland into these allegations, suggesting a broader conspiracy within the NIH FOIA office to unlawfully destroy records concerning the pandemic’s origins. In a private email to Daszak, Morens mentioned the ability to make emails disappear.
