A watchdog filed a complaint on June 4 against the agency Dr. Anthony Fauci headed until 2022, pointing out that one official during Dr. Fauci’s tenure admitted to evading a federal law, while another apparently substituted letters with symbols to avoid Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

Protect the Public’s Trust “requests that you investigate this apparently intentional pattern of evasion effectuated by NIH/NIAID employees,” Michael Chamberlain, director of the group, said in a letter to Christi Grimm, the inspector general of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
