Dr. David Morens, 78, served as a senior adviser to Anthony Fauci (Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) from 2006 through 2022. Morens sits at the epicenter of the NIAID coverup to hide the origins of COVID-19.

Today, Fauci’s Senior Advisor Dr. David Morens plead guilty to “Conspiracy to Commit Offenses and to Defraud the United States” in connection with his conspiring with Peter Danzak, President of EcoHealth Alliance, Dr Gerald Keusch, associate director at Boston University’s National Emerging Infectious Disease Laboratory Institute and a recipient of funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), together with others to defraud the public about NIH-funded gain-of-function research and the origin of COVID.
Morens and others plotted to conceal/destroy federal records re: COVID-19 and federal grants to avoid FOIA and the Federal Record Act. Morens admits to using his gmail account to intentionally defraud the U.S. government and conceal communication and records about his activities. In addition, Morens admits to receiving “gifts” of material value in exchange for his efforts on behalf of the co-conspirators.
The conspiracy involved a “kickback” scheme in which Morens accepted and was promised gifts – including bottles of wine and meals at Michelin-starred restaurants – in exchange for performing “official acts that were favorable” to his co-conspirators.
VIA CBS – Washington — A former senior adviser at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has pleaded guilty to a charge stemming from a scheme to hide federal records during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Under a deal reached with federal prosecutors in Maryland, David Morens, 78, agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit offenses and to defraud the United States. He faces up to five years in prison.
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.
Tim Belevetz, a lawyer for Morens, said, “By pleading guilty today, Dr. Morens has taken responsibility for what he did and will continue to do so.”
Prosecutors said Morens worked with two co-conspirators. The first, “co-conspirator 1,” served as the president and CEO of a New York-based nonprofit that received a grant in 2014 titled “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence.” The Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China, received a subaward from the New York group on the coronavirus grant, prosecutors said, though the National Institutes of Health terminated the award in April 2020 following allegations that COVID-19 emerged from the lab. The NIAID is part of the NIH.
The second co-conspirator was described in charging documents as a physician, scientist and professor who worked for an academic institute that received federal grants.
Emails made public by the GOP-led Select Committee on the Coronavirus Pandemic indicate that the New York-based nonprofit is the EcoHealth Alliance and co-conspirator 1 is its president, Peter Daszak.
The indictment stemmed from several Freedom of Information Act requests NIAID received between April 2020 and December 2022 that sought communications between Morens, the New York-based nonprofit and its president. (read more)





Is he talking?
Did he agree to plead in return for lesser charges and cooperation against other possible defendants? I guess time will tell but Fauxi does NOT have a pardon on state charges and I believe there are several AGs that are looking into crimes he committed against their citizens.
Florida was talking about it…but like all else, I will believe it when there are arrests, indictments, etc….
True
I have almost lost complete faith in this bunch who call themselves leaders.
I am glad Dr. David Morens pleaded guilty to defrauding the American people. What he did with others is despicable. So many Americans were harmed.
It is a terrible reflection on doctors with a God complex and lust for power and money.
Fauci’s preemptive pardon, issued by autopen by WH staff on Jan 19, 2025, and highly likely without a sentient Biden’s knowledge or direction, should be challenged and if at all possible thrown out. Don’t know why DOJ is not pursuing such challenges. But it should be done.
Regardless of his criminal sentence, hes getting off to easy
The fact that he lied to the American public and his lies led to crimes against humanity and economic calamity all for a couple bottles of booze and a nice steak is mind boggling.
Speaks to a darker purpose imo
If either you or I did something even remotely like this we’d be put away. Justice is for sale in this country.
Nothing will ever happen to these people. The only people in this Country who are held accountable now are us “SERFS”
Bastards got a scape goat
It is about time one of the underlings of leading Branch Covidians goes down. Now how about his co-conspirators?
How about Scarf Lady? How about Mike 30 pieces of Silver Pence? How about the Bill Gates of Hell?
How about all of the Media Whores and Shills?
…and I would be remiss to forget all of the Dictator Branch Covidian Governors and some Mayors…
Don’t forget the Angel of Death here in Ohio who has a good shot of beating Vivek Ganapathy Ramaswamy for our Governorship…
Oh I won’t. But how about the Uniparty teeing up a Governors race between a Pajeet grifter and a Nazi Dr?
The first person to talk gets the best deal.
the 1st domino……
50 lashes with a wet noodle by our government. Don’t hold your breath for accountability.
… nonprofit that received a grant in 2014 …
Didn’t Fauci’s pardon extend back to 2014?
yes
Chances are the things he destroyed are a LOT worse than the things we know. Anyway, a domino has fallen.
Next?
Well, you mean the written words on documents would appear “worse than the things we’ve read about.
We sure as hell know the devastation suffered by those who were denied proper life-saving medical attention.
What a Moren!
What a
MorenMaroon!fify
He’ll skate…
And I’ve heard that “health” insurance rates are going to go up again. The whole Obamacare scam is going to collapse as more and more people refuse to listen to the “experts” because the “experts” are a bunch of greedy liars.
Everything continues to increase in price, not just as fast (supposedly). You really can’t trust the government on anything.
The drug companies have controlled the medical schools and “The Physicians’ Desk Reference” (PDR) for more than 50+ years. My 46 edition PDR was from 1992. My opinion is the drug companies also control the “health insurance companies”, food/agriculture and many other aspects of our lives. Beware…bill
Dirtbag!
If he floats, he is a witch…burn him!
I cannot get over the fact that “they” conspired to keep secret the adverse impacts of the jab on pregnant women and developing babies. I cannot forget or forgive that. None of us should.
Make sure the conspirators COVID vaccinations are up to date.
His choice in suits make me question his sanity. Did the Joker dress him?
On its face, this is fantastic news and should lead to other poisonous fruit. On the other hand, only 5 years in prison?!?!?!
He ain’t lookin’ too healthy in that pic…
I’m not sure a couple bottles of wine and a few fine meals turned his head.
DOJ PRESS RELEASE:
…”David M. Morens, 78, of Chester, Maryland, pled guilty to conspiracy to commit offenses and to defraud the United States. Morens served as a senior advisor in NIAID’s Office of the Director from 2006 through 2022.

According to his guilty plea, Morens, Co-Conspirator 1, Co-Conspirator 2, and others conspired during the COVID-19 pandemic to defraud the United States after NIH terminated Co-Conspirator 1’s grant. NIH terminated the grant, Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence, based on allegations that COVID-19 emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in Wuhan, China. NIAID awarded the grant to Company 1 and Co-Conspirator 1, who made a subaward to the WIV. “….

Will someone actually go to jail?
Over educated and thought he could fool everyone. No doubt he has made a plea deal to stay out of prison…bill
Arrogant, with a god complex, bill.
Fauci, Dazak, Baric, Collins, Birx…the list of names is never ending.
People were nothing to them but millions of amoeba in a Petri dish to be experimented upon.
The most hideous crime ever committed.
And his sentence is …
It’s a start.
Now, let’s get on with prosecuting the criminals involved in the democrat / RINO’s 2021 coups d’état against our Constitutional Republic, our Constitution and our President Trump.
The planning started two years earlier.
Let their march to the gallows begin …… from the lowest member to the leaders …….. they all must be charged, tried, convicted and sentenced to die for their treasonous acts.
No stone must be left unturned to get them and the message for future generations must be strong …… never, never get involved in such treasonous crimes against the USA! You will pay the ultimate price.
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
Where is that worthless, little worm, Dr. Tony (“I am Science” and I love to torture Beagle puppies to death) Fauci ???
Fading into the mist as his talismans captivate the crowd.
Unfortunately
Fauci,the angel of death should rot in hell, we can’t for get cuomo he killed he murdered alot senior citizens. All these greedy evil sons of bitches. May be it we get serious about punishing these evil type of people. We can get our country and our people back in GODS FAVOR. WE NEED TO GET BACK TO THE RULE OF LAW AND PUNISH ALL THESE SCUMBAGS !!!
Will this get mentioned on mainstream news???
If he is a prelude to Fauci rather than a substitute for Fauci, fine. Otherwise, “accept no substitutes” for the Gain-of-Genocide man – thank you Gipper for that fabulous descriptor.
I do not understand how, in Fauci’s case, a “pardon” creates a super citizen immune to justice and consequences to all illegal acts he committed? That’s NOT a PARDON.
Should’ve been charged one count for each email deleted or used outside of the official email system.
Whether or not Fauci’s pardon is upheld, nothing prevents him from civil suits. Every woman that miscarried can sue. Every one of us can sue for mental anguish due to the shutdown, the masks, the 6 feet rules, etc. all of which he lied about. Sue him into bankruptcy
The guy is not only a crook he’s a cheap crook.
Finally accountability! Yeah Todd!
Want to stop corruption?
Downsize the federal govt to DOD, State, and ICE.
DOI, IRS, EPA, USDA, DOE, NASA, and most others can be eliminated.
