Fauci adviser David Morens indicted for concealing emails, avoiding records requests
WASHINGTON — David Morens, a former top National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases official, was indicted Tuesday on allegations that he concealed records from Freedom of Information Act requests.
Trump administration officials said in a legal filing that Morens hid and falsified records to undermine debate about the origins of the virus that spurred the Covid-19 pandemic — and received kickbacks for doing so, including wine and offers of future meals at high-end restaurants. Morens was a senior adviser to former NIAID Director Anthony Fauci, who is not named directly in the indictment.
