The Justice Department is building a case that aims to expose what some believe is a hidden conspiracy behind the COVID pandemic. An ex-adviser to Anthony Fauci — David Morens, 78 — has recently been indicted by Donald Trump administration’s top prosecutors for illicitly concealing federal records during the height of the pandemic.
Conspiracy theorists aside, Trump has had his own vendetta against Fauci’s leadership at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which Trump blamed for costing him his re-election bid in 2020. In between blaming China for ruining his poll numbers and claiming he won but that Democrats rigged the election, Trump has also been very hostile toward the preemptive pardons that Joe Biden issued while leaving office, which included Dr. Fauci — though, of course, those pardons did not include everyone.
