“The Department of Justice indicted a former senior adviser to Dr. Anthony Fauci on Tuesday for allegedly concealing records amid probes into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim specifies an indictment on 'Tuesday' for concealing records related to COVID-19 origins. While the web search results mention David Morens being implicated in potential FOIA violations and destroying records, none of the provided evidence confirms a specific indictment by the Department of Justice on a particular Tuesday regarding this exact charge.

“Morens served as a senior advisor to Fauci from 2006 to 2022.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The Wikipedia entry for Anthony Fauci states he served as the director of the NIAID from 1984 to 2022, and the claim specifies him as a senior advisor. While the exact start date of 2006 is not explicitly confirmed as the start of his *senior advisor* role to Fauci, the Wikipedia entry confirms his long tenure and role up to 2022. The evidence supports his association with Fauci and his service ending around 2022.
