Did NIH officials hide COVID-19 records?

The House Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released a 35-page memo presenting what they say is overwhelming evidence that David Morens, a top adviser to Dr. Anthony Fauci at the National Institutes of Health, deleted records critical to uncovering the origins of COVID-19.  

The memo claims Morens unlawfully deleted emails and used a “secret back channel” to evade transparency.

“(I) learned from our FOIA [sic] lady here how to make emails disappear after I am FOIA’d (sic) but before the search starts,” Morens wrote in a Feb. 24, 2021, email, which was obtained by The New York Post. “Plus I deleted most of those earlier emails after sending them to gmail (sic).”
