David M. Morens was a senior adviser to the Director of NIAID (the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) 2006 - 2022. House Select Subcommittee investigations released emails showing he had been routing communications about EcoHealth Alliance and the bat coronavirus grant tied to the Wuhan Institute of Virology through his personal Gmail, explicitly to dodge FOIA.

Prosecutors allege he worked to suppress the lab leak hypothesis and that he received gifts from Peter Daszak, the EcoHealth president.
