That is the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He was charged with conspiracy to defraud the US government. David Morens, former NIAID adviser, pleads guilty in COVID-19 records scheme - CBS News
Morens, a senior adviser at NIAID's Office of the Director from 2006 to 2022, was indicted in April and charged with five counts for what prosecutors said at the time was his role in a scheme to defraud the U.S. by shielding federal records related to the COVID-19 pandemic from the public.
There is apparently at least one Unnamed Co-conspirator. I hope that means there is more to come.
According to the guilty plea, Morens and the two co-conspirators agreed to exchange emails about COVID-19 and its origins, as well as the terminated coronavirus grant, through Morens' personal Gmail account, rather than his official NIH account, to hide federal records and evade public records laws.
Hat tip to Clayton Cramer.
Nothing says integrity like hiding records.
