Jun 3, 2024, 03:13 PM

Dr. Anthony Fauci is set to face a House panel on Monday regarding the use of private emails by his former adviser, Dr. David Morens, to shield communications from public disclosure. The congressional panel seeks access to Fauci’s personal emails after discovering that Morens used a private Gmail account to avoid FOIA requests. Fauci, in his opening remarks, stated he was unaware of Morens’s email practices and emphasized that Morens was not an adviser on institute policy or other substantive issues. Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) highlighted Morens’s attempts to avoid FOIA and delete federal records. Fauci denied any knowledge of Morens’s actions and reiterated that he never conducted government business using private email. Additionally, Fauci addressed questions from Rep. James Comer and Rep. Debbie Lesko about NIAID policies and gain of function research.
