A former top aide to Dr. Fauci, David Morens, just pleaded guilty to a felony for allegedly plotting to hide federal records on the origins of COVID-19 — using his personal email to skirt transparency laws while at NIAID. The Justice Department says he tried to conceal or destroy documents tied to controversial pandemic research grants. Though Fauci himself isn’t charged, his recent Fifth Amendment refusal and Senate contempt vote keep him in the crosshairs. Morens faces up to five years; sentencing is set for November 12. His lawyer says he’s taking full responsibility — but the fallout underscores how deep the scrutiny runs into the heart of the pandemic’s early days.
