Bombshell emails show top Fauci aide used his personal Gmail to ‘intentionally’ HIDE discussions about COVID origins… and would delete anything ‘incriminating’

New documents show that Dr. Anthony Fauci’s top US health aide intentionally tried to hide his discussions about the origins of COIVD-19 by using his personal email.

Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chairman Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, claimed a whistleblower gave him new bombshell material obtained by DailyMail.com.

The unnamed whistleblower disclosed emails showing that Dr. David Morens — Fauci’s top aide at the National Institutes of Health — allegedly used his personal Gmail account to discuss the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic to circumvent federal transparency laws.

At the time, Morens’ official government work email would have been subject to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests that could have published his daily communications.

Wenstrup says Morens used Gmail to ‘intentionally (subvert) federal transparency laws to shield discussions related to the origins of COVID-19.’

The emails provided by whistleblowers show that Morens uses an ‘@gmail.com’ account to correspond with Dr. Peter Daszak, head of the EcoHealth Alliance, a research nonprofit, apparently regarding a government research grant.

Republicans previously revealed that EcoHealth and the Wuhan Institute of Virology, in collaboration with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), submitted a proposal to federal officials seeking funding to create a new coronavirus in 2018.

And Wenstrup has accused EcoHealth of using taxpayer dollars ‘to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.’

“These emails raise serious concerns about federal health officials potentially covering up the origins of the pandemic,” Wenstrup said Thursday.

The subject line of one of the messages between Morens’ personal email and EcoHealth’s Daszak includes a reference to a National Institute of Health (NIH) grant proposal that provided $661,980 for a 2019 project titled ‘Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence’.

Another subject line from his personal email reads ‘COVID-19 update (312): China, SARS-CoV2 origin, animal reservoir, WHO mission’, indicating the two discussed the origins of the disease.

A third email from Morens had a subject line that referred to “our suspended R01,” possibly indicating that funding for the bat coronavirus research project was stopped at some point.

However, during his transcribed interview with the select subcommittee in January, Morens refused to delete any federal COVID-19 records of origin, according to the lawmaker.

Morens also previously admitted to the committee in a closed interview that ‘I will delete anything I don’t want to see in the New York Times.’

“I always try to communicate over gmail because my NIH email is constantly FOIA’d,” Morens told the committee at the time.

The mother’s admission that he intentionally hides his messages prompted Wenstrup to send one letter to Boston University Professor Dr. Gerald Keusch, who was mentioned in the emails.

Wenstrup requests the presentation of all documents and communications in connection with Keusch’s correspondence with doctor Morens, the committee stated.

That includes all emails with “other individuals and entities with knowledge of and access to COVID-19 material.”

“This letter continues our investigation into the potential cover-up of information about the origin of COVID-19 by US public health authorities,” Wenstrup writes.

The Republican requested that Keusch turn over his communications with a number of federal officials by April 25.

Earlier this week, Senator Rand Paul announced that at least 15 government agencies, including NIAID and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), had information about the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s proposal.

And despite the fact that these officials knew that EcoHealth, the Wuhan Institute, and NIAID wanted to create a disease similar to COVID-19, they did not reveal the lab’s intentions to the public.

Further muddying the waters are claims by Paul that Fauci may have been involved in influencing decisions made about the origin of COVID-19, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still says probably came from bats and not a Chinese laboratory.

“We also have stories, rumors and innuendo that Fauci was a frequent off-the-books visitor to the CIA.”

Paul says Fauci’s secretive trips are important because ‘officially the CIA still says (COVID-19 is) probably from animals.’

Paul pointed to how the CIA disagrees with findings from the Department of Energy and the FBI, which have said the pandemic likely originated from a leak in a Wuhan, China, laboratory.

And although an initial CIA assessment found the lab leak theory plausible, senior agency officials dismissed its findings.

This means, according to Paul, that Fauci almost certainly knew about the Chinese laboratories’ desire to create a new coronavirus, since NIAID was a partner in the proposal.

“So in January and February of 2020, instead of Anthony Fauci coming up and saying, ‘Oh, wow, they briefed us on this. It looks like they ended up doing what they briefed us on,’ instead of saying that, he ordered people to say the opposite,’ Paul told DailyMail.com.

‘It makes me think there really is something they’re hiding.’

Dr. Meanwhile, Peter Daszak is due to testify publicly before Parliament on 1 May.

EcoHealth and Dr. Morens did not return a request for comment.
