Dr. Anthony Fauci is in hot water following the release of new evidence showing he and others working with him took steps to destroy evidence and evade a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Could his lies finally be catching up to him?

Newly released emails from longtime colleague Dr. David Morens point to a vast conspiracy aimed at covering up the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Director's connection to the risky gain-of-function research believed to be behind the COVID-19 virus. They also implicate EcoHealth Alliance president Dr. Peter Daszak. His organization, which oversaw bat coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, was recently suspended from receiving federal funds.

Many of the emails were between Morens and Daszak, and they are part of 150 emails that were released by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. They prove that Morens, who was a senior adviser to Fauci, purposefully took steps to conceal email evidence that the trio were involved in a coverup related to their role in the origins of the pandemic.

Several tactics were used to try to avoid exposing their culpability, such as deleting sensitive emails, systematically misspelling certain key terms to avoid FOIA searches, and using a private email account for official business.

In one email, Morens bragged about how well he thought he was doing at covering his tracks, noting: "I learned from our NIH FOIA lady here how to make emails disappear after I am FOIA but before the search starts so I think we're all safe. Plus I deleted most of those earlier emails after sending them to Gmail."

He was apparently very worried about being exposed, reiterating in a subsequent email to Daszak: "I ask you both that NOTHING gets sent to me except to my gmail [sic],"

He also said that he could help Fauci avoid getting exposed by FOIA requests, which suggests Fauci knew about the coverup, writing in an April 2021 email: "[T]here is no worry about FOIAs. I can either send stuff to Tony on his private gmail, or hand it to him at work or at his house. He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble."
