<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
New emails have surfaced suggesting that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the longtime head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), encouraged federal employees to destroy government records related to the origins of COVID-19.<\/p>\n
The revelations come from a series of emails obtained by congressional investigators and highlighted by Senator Rand Paul, who has long pressed for transparency regarding Fauci\u2019s handling of the pandemic.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe now have clear evidence that Dr. Fauci instructed federal employees to delete official records,\u201d Senator Paul told the\u00a0New York Post<\/em>. \u201cThis is a violation of federal law and contradicts his sworn testimony.\u201d<\/p>\n One email from February 2020 was particularly damning. It came shortly after a high-level call with virologists about the origins of COVID-19. According to congressional memos, the email included instructions to \u201cdelete\u201d messages that discussed the possibility of a lab leak.<\/p>\n The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released a memo describing \u201cserious misconduct and potentially illegal actions\u201d by Fauci\u2019s senior adviser, Dr. David Morens.<\/p>\n \u201cDr. Morens unlawfully deleted federal COVID-19 records, used a personal email to avoid FOIA, and repeatedly acted unbecoming of a federal employee,\u201d the subcommittee memo stated.<\/p>\n Emails from Morens also appear to implicate Fauci directly. In one exchange, Morens wrote that Fauci \u201cis too smart to have things in writing,\u201d adding that he would help keep certain discussions \u201coff the record.\u201d<\/p>\n Lawmakers say this proves Fauci was aware of efforts to destroy records. \u201cThese revelations demonstrate that Dr. Fauci was not only complicit but may have personally directed the destruction of federal records,\u201d Rep. Brad Wenstrup, chair of the subcommittee, said in a press release.<\/p>\n The alleged cover-up centers around the controversial February 2020 paper,\u00a0The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2<\/em>, which dismissed the lab leak theory as a conspiracy. Critics argue Fauci\u2019s behind-the-scenes influence shaped that narrative while publicly denying any involvement.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat we\u2019re seeing now is evidence of deliberate deception,\u201d Paul said. \u201cFauci told the American people one thing while working behind the scenes to suppress alternative theories.\u201d<\/p>\n The emails also reveal an ongoing effort within the NIH to avoid Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Morens admitted in one exchange that he would \u201cdelete anything\u201d that might be requested by watchdogs.<\/p>\n \u201cI always try to communicate via Gmail because my NIH email is FOIA\u2019d constantly,\u201d Morens wrote in an email subpoenaed by Congress.<\/p>\n Senator Paul blasted this as a clear violation of federal transparency laws. \u201cThe law is very clear\u2014federal employees cannot use private emails to conduct official business and then destroy records to avoid oversight,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n In response, Paul sent a letter to the Department of Justice demanding a full investigation into Fauci and Morens. \u201cThe DOJ must investigate whether Dr. Fauci and his associates engaged in the unlawful destruction of records,\u201d Paul wrote.<\/p>\n The\u00a0New York Post<\/em>\u00a0reported that Fauci has been called back to Congress for further questioning. Lawmakers want him to explain the newly released emails that appear to contradict his past testimony.<\/p>\n \u201cFauci testified under oath that he never instructed anyone to delete records,\u201d Wenstrup said. \u201cThese emails suggest otherwise, and that raises serious questions about perjury.\u201d<\/p>\n The controversy is not new. In 2022, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) warned the NIH about potential violations of federal recordkeeping requirements.<\/p>\n In a letter obtained by\u00a0archives.gov<\/em>, NARA said NIH staff had allegedly been ordered to \u201cshred notes and other documents\u201d referencing its work with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.<\/p>\n \u201cIf proven true, these are unauthorized dispositions of federal records,\u201d the letter from NARA stated.<\/p>\n Conservative lawmakers say the implications are massive. \u201cIf Fauci ordered records destroyed, that is criminal,\u201d Rep. Jim Jordan said in a Fox News interview. \u201cWe\u2019re talking about one of the most consequential cover-ups in U.S. history.\u201d<\/p>\n Paul went further, accusing Fauci of intentionally misleading Congress. \u201cThis is about accountability,\u201d he said. \u201cNo federal employee, no matter how powerful, is above the law.\u201d<\/p>\n Fauci, however, has denied wrongdoing. In past interviews, he insisted he has always complied with federal transparency rules. \u201cI have nothing to hide,\u201d Fauci said in July when asked about earlier reports of email deletions.<\/p>\n Still, lawmakers say his denials don\u2019t match the evidence. \u201cHe told us under oath that he never destroyed records,\u201d Wenstrup said. \u201cNow we see emails where his top adviser brags about deleting them on his behalf.\u201d<\/p>\n The death of a political figure is rarely confined to private grief. When tragedy unfolds before thousands, it becomes both a matter of national reckoning and an intimate story of loss. One week has now passed since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, and the shock has yet to fade. Instead, each day brings new fragments of information \u2014 pieces that illuminate not only the violence of that afternoon, but also the desperate, ultimately futile, efforts to save his life.<\/p>\n What began as the launch of Kirk\u2019s \u201cAmerican Comeback Tour\u201d at Utah Valley University has instead become a grim case study in political violence, the fragility of life under the spotlight, and the anguish of those who tried to preserve it. Among the most striking accounts is the testimony of Frank Turek, Kirk\u2019s longtime friend and mentor, who was with him in the frantic moments after the gunfire.<\/p>\n On September 10, Kirk stood before an audience of more than 3,000. Known for his combative debating style, he was taking a question on gun violence when a single shot rang out.<\/p>\n The bullet, allegedly fired by 22-year-old Tyler Robinson from a rooftop nearby, struck Kirk in the neck, severing key arteries. In an instant, the activist who built his career on amplifying his voice was rendered silent.<\/p>\n Panic spread through the venue. Security rushed to the stage as attendees screamed. Within seconds, Kirk\u2019s limp body was lifted into a waiting vehicle. From that point forward, every second mattered.<\/p>\n In the days since, new details have surfaced, painting a fuller picture of Kirk\u2019s final hours. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem disclosed that Kirk had sent her a private text the night before his death \u2014 a message now parsed by supporters as a possible reflection of his mission. Neuropsychologist Derek Van Schaik analyzed footage of the shooting and concluded that Kirk likely never registered what had happened, losing consciousness in less than half a second.<\/p>\n But perhaps the most harrowing testimony has come from Frank Turek, the Christian apologist and author who described riding with Kirk during the desperate dash to the hospital.<\/p>\n \u201cCharlie Kirk was literally a son to me,\u201d Turek, 63, said on his podcast\u00a0Cross Examined<\/em>, his voice breaking. \u201cSo if your son got hit, what would you do? You get in that car. You do everything you can, no matter what.\u201d<\/p>\n And so he did. As Kirk\u2019s body was loaded into the vehicle, Turek climbed in beside him. What followed was a frantic race against time, blood loss, and fate.<\/p>\n One haunting detail still lingers: Kirk\u2019s tall frame was too large for the back seat. His body stretched so far across that rescuers could not shut the car door. \u201cCharlie is laid out right in front of me, and Charlie\u2019s so tall we can\u2019t close the door,\u201d Turek recalled.<\/p>\n The image is both heartbreaking and symbolic \u2014 a leader too large for the confines of the car, straddling the threshold between life and death as the vehicle tore through the streets with one door hanging open.<\/p>\n Inside, Turek alternated between performing CPR and pleading with his friend to hold on. \u201cCome on, Charlie, come on, come on,\u201d he repeated, pressing on his chest. Members of Kirk\u2019s security team worked calmly but urgently, applying pressure to the wound. They were trained for such moments, but the injury was catastrophic.<\/p>\n By the time they reached Timpanogos Regional Hospital, Turek knew the fight was over. \u201cCharlie wasn\u2019t there,\u201d he said quietly. \u201cHis eyes were fixed. He wasn\u2019t looking at me. He was looking past me, right into eternity. He was with Jesus already.\u201d<\/p>\n For Turek, solace lies in faith. \u201cAbsent from the body, present with the Lord. That\u2019s where Charlie is,\u201d he said. \u201cHe didn\u2019t suffer. He didn\u2019t even know. He was gone in an instant.\u201d<\/p>\n Neuroscience offers a similar conclusion. Van Schaik explained that with a wound severing both the carotid artery and jugular vein, Kirk would have lost consciousness in less than half a second. \u201cNo panic, no dread, no awareness of death,\u201d he said. \u201cOnly an abrupt blackout.\u201d<\/p>\n In that way, both faith and science converge on a single point: Charlie Kirk did not suffer.<\/p>\n Supporters have also noted the cruel irony of the moment. Kirk was addressing gun violence when violence silenced him. He was speaking to a crowd of students \u2014 the audience that most defined his career \u2014 when his voice was taken away.<\/p>\n To critics, Kirk was a polarizing figure. To allies, he was a warrior for conservative values. To both, his death at a university podium crystallized the very divisions that shape American politics today.<\/p>\n Since his death, tributes have poured in. Former President Donald Trump called him \u201can American hero.\u201d Kirk\u2019s widow, Erika, vowed that her husband\u2019s mission would continue: \u201cThe movement my husband built will not die. It will grow stronger, louder, bolder.\u201d<\/p>\n For Frank Turek, however, the loss remains painfully personal. His testimony \u2014 the open car door, the CPR, the last gaze \u2014 ensures that Kirk\u2019s final moments are remembered not only as a headline, but as a deeply human story of friendship, faith, and loyalty.<\/p>\n One week later, the details remain raw, each revelation reopening wounds. Yet the scene described by Turek \u2014 a desperate ride to the hospital, the open door, the fight against time already lost \u2014 has emerged as the defining image of Kirk\u2019s final moments.<\/p>\n It is a story of devotion and desperation, of faith colliding with mortality. It reminds us that behind every headline are the fragile threads of human life \u2014 friends who fight to the end, families who grieve, and moments suspended between hope and heartbreak.<\/p>\n Charlie Kirk may have been silenced in an instant, but the story of his life \u2014 and the way it ended \u2014 will echo long after.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New emails have surfaced suggesting that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the longtime head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), encouraged federal employees to destroy government records related to the…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15698,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15699","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hot-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
