Dr Anthony Fauci’s former top aide who allegedly worked to shield sensitive documents about COVID-19 from public view arrived in court on Friday to face federal charges.
Dr David Morens, 78, of Chester, Maryland, was indicted by the Department of Justice at the end of April for allegedly concealing falsified information to suppress alternative theories of COVID-19’s origins.
He served as a senior advisor to the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) from 2006 through 2022. Fauci was the agency’s director from 1984 to 2022.
