EXCLUSIVE — House Republicans are weighing whether to recommend criminal charges against the senior advisor to former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci.
David Morens, top aide to Fauci who is slated to give his first public testimony before Congress on Wednesday, has been at the heart of investigations from the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic since June 2023 when the panel uncovered emails indicating that he used his personal Gmail account to conduct official business about COVID-19 to avoid Freedom of Information Act requests.
Morens was called to testify before the subcommittee publicly because of discrepancies between uncovered documents and his transcribed interview testimony from January.
“At the very least, he misled Congress through his transcribed interview,” subcommittee Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) told the Washington Examiner in an exclusive interview ahead of the hearing. “Lying to Congress is a felony.”
