Fauci Aide Pleads Guilty to Covering Up COVID Docs | Raleigh News

A former top aide to Dr. Fauci, David Morens, just pleaded guilty to plotting to hide federal COVID-19 pandemic records — a felony that could land him up to five years in prison. Using his personal email, he allegedly dodged public records laws to conceal or destroy documents on controversial research grants, including one revived under scrutiny. The case emerged during a Republican House probe into pandemic origins, and while Morens previously denied wrongdoing, his lawyer now says he’s taking responsibility. Though Dr. Fauci himself remains uncharged, he’s also been intensely scrutinized — even invoking his Fifth Amendment rights and facing a contempt vote. This plea marks another major legal development in the ongoing unraveling of early pandemic research transparency.
