Ex-Fauci top advisor indicted over alleged COVID cover-up, hidden emails

David M. Morens, a former top advisor to Dr. Anthony Fauci at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), was indicted by the Justice Department for allegedly using a private email to conceal communications about the origins of COVID-19, including discussions involving a controversial research grant with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Prosecutors claim he conspired to hide information from public disclosure and accepted gifts to support a narrative that the virus originated naturally.
