From the Washington Times:
The Justice Department announced a groundbreaking criminal case Tuesday against Dr. Anthony Fauci’s former top aide at the National Institutes of Health, accusing him of suppressing information about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dr. David Morens was Dr. Fauci’s senior adviser at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, where he oversaw the agency’s grants, including one that funded risky research at the Wuhan lab in China suspected of being the source of the virus. In a new indictment, the government charged that Dr. Morens conspired to argue that the Wuhan lab wasn’t at fault, tried to delete emails with the firm that funded the research at Wuhan, and sought to use his private email to hide his actions from the public.
