Former Fauci aide charged with concealing Covid records

David Morens, a former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) employee and adviser to Dr. Anthony Fauci, has been indicted by Trump administration prosecutors for allegedly concealing federal records related to the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic. The charges, announced by the Justice Department, coincide with ongoing political debates over the virus's origin, including theories of a lab leak versus natural spillover.
