SETTLING ALL FAMILY BUSINESS

 

 




One of the top cronies of one of the most destructive political figures in recent memory has been indicted by President Trump’s Department of Justice.

As The New York Post reported, 78-year-old David Morens, a former senior advisor to Dr. Anthony Fauci was charged with several crimes, including: conspiracy against the United States; destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations; concealment, removal, or mutilation of records; and aiding and abetting.

The Post also notes that the indictment, which was unsealed Monday in Maryland federal court, also lists two unnamed co-conspirators who “concealed, removed, destroyed and caused the concealment, and removal of federal records to evade FOIA [Freedom of Information Act] and FRA [Federal Records Act].”

More on Morens from the Post:

Morens, who served as a senior advisor to Fauci from 2006 to 2022, conducted official government business from a private email account and asked the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) FOIA liaison for tips on how to evade records requests, according to communications first exposed by The Post in May 2024.

“[T]here is no worry about FOIAs. I can either send stuff to Tony on his private gmail [sic], or hand it to him at work or at his house,” Morens wrote in one April 21, 2021, email. “He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble.”

Two months prior, Morens said in a Feb. 24 email: “[I] learned from our foia [sic] lady here how to make emails disappear after I am foia’d [sic] but before the search starts."

“Plus I deleted most of those earlier emails after sending them to gmail [sic],” he noted.

The Post goes on to reveal that Morens wrote that he always used Gmail because his NIH email FOIA’d constantly and he wanted to ensure none of his emails reached the New York Times.
