DOJ indicts former Fauci adviser David Morens on charges related to the COVID pandemic​

Former National Institutes of Health official David Morens is accused of evading record requests related to the COVID pandemic’s origins and gain-of-function research

The Department of Justice has indicted a former senior National Institutes of Health (NIH) official who played a key role in the U.S. response to the COVID pandemic for allegedly attempting to evade record requests related to the pandemic’s origins.

David Morens has been charged with conspiracy against the U.S. and with the deliberate concealment, destruction, alteration or falsification of records. Morens was a senior aide to Anthony Fauci, who was formerly chief medical adviser to the president and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Fauci was the face of the U.S. response to the COVID pandemic and was initially praised by President Donald Trump, who was then in his first term in office. But Fauci has since been criticized for his role by several members of the Trump administration, including the president and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Fauci is not accused of any wrongdoing in this indictment.

“These allegations represent a profound abuse of trust at a time when the American people needed it most—during the height of a global pandemic,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche in a statement. “As alleged in the indictment, Dr. Morens and his co-conspirators deliberately concealed information and falsified records in an effort to suppress alternative theories regarding the origins of COVID-19. Government officials have a solemn duty to provide honest, well-grounded facts and advice in service of the public interest—not to advance their own personal or ideological agendas.” Two unnamed people were cited as co-conspirators in the indictment, and they have not been charged with any crime.

Timothy Belevetz, an attorney who represent Morens, declined to comment.

Morens served in the role of senior adviser to the director of NIAID until 2025. The indictment accuses Morens of using his position to defraud the U.S. after a grant to study the origins of the COVID-causing virus SAR-CoV-2 that had been awarded to one of the unnamed co-conspirators was canceled. The DOJ alleges Morens promised to restore the grant in an effort to counter the theory that the COVID-causing virus originated in a Chinese laboratory rather than via animal-to-human transmission. Morens is also alleged to have evaded numerous record requests, including from journalists, that had to do with the pandemic’s origins and gain-of-function research—an area of study that can involve deliberately making a pathogen more deadly to investigate what its effects are and how to combat it.

 

CHICAGO, April 29 (Reuters) - The Trump administration rejected all four women farmers chosen by their peers to represent them in an industry group called the United Soybean Board earlier this year, a rare intervention by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that three of the women suspected was because of their gender.

From the Pentagon to the U.S. Department of Education, the Trump administration has vowed to root out policies that promote diversity, equity and inclusion, ‌or DEI, from every layer of government.



Normally, soy farmers pick their representatives and the USDA signs off. This time, the USDA rejected at least five of the farmers selected for the United Soybean Board, including four women. It did not ‌give any reason, according to three of the women.


Sara Stelter, a Wisconsin farmer stripped of her role on the soy board, saw the decision as part of Trump's broader policy.

“It seems like a small thing," Stelter said, "but in other ways, it’s really a big deal because it’s just another thing of where the current administration views women, I believe, and what their role should be."
The USA treats women just fine.
