Rand Paul Calls for Justice Department Investigation into COVID-19 Origin Documents

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) is urging the Justice Department to investigate allegations of improper concealment and destruction of documents related to the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic. The allegations involve Dr. David Morens, a top adviser to Dr. Anthony Fauci, who is accused of hiding and erasing records pertaining to the virus’s origins. Emails obtained by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic suggest that Morens may have violated federal law by destroying records to avoid leaks through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. The investigation also revealed that Morens used personal email accounts to evade FOIA requests and discussed the origins of COVID-19 with a non-governmental organization funded to conduct coronavirus research in Wuhan, China. Senior NIH officials confirmed that Morens’ actions breached NIH policy. Senator Paul’s letter demands a thorough investigation and accountability for any wrongdoing.
