Dr. Morens Pleads Guilty to Covering Up COVID Records | US News
Description
Dr. Morens, a former advisor to Dr. Fauci, admitted to violating federal records laws by using his personal email to hide or destroy COVID-19 grant documents — including controversial ones — while working at NIAID. He and two colleagues allegedly agreed to keep sensitive discussions private via Gmail, even exchanging wine as bribes for favorable scientific commentary on the virus’s origins. The Justice Department says these deals included promises of luxury meals in Paris and New York. Though Dr. Fauci distanced himself from the misconduct, Morens now faces up to five years in prison after taking responsibility for his actions.
