Covid Subcommittee Subpoenas Top Fauci Adviser over Use of Personal Emails to Discuss Pandemic

House Republicans on Tuesday subpoenaed a top aide to former National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci over his use of his personal email account to discuss Covid origins.

The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic subpoenaed Dr. David Morens for documents from his private Gmail account after emails released last week confirmed whistleblower allegations that Morens used his personal Gmail for correspondence related to Covid-19.

“Dr. David Morens purposefully evaded FOIA laws to give his ‘best-friend’ EcoHealth Alliance President Dr. Peter Daszak non-public, internal information that had the potential to undermine the operations of the United States government,” said subcommittee Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R., Ohio).
