A top U.S. government official bragged that he had learned of a way to make emails vanish after receiving Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, messages made public on May 22 show.
“I learned from our FOIA lady here how to make emails disappear after I am FOIA'd but before the search starts, so I think we are all safe,” Dr. David Morens, senior adviser to the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, wrote in an email on Feb. 24, 2021.
