Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) is calling for a “full audit” of responses to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests at the National Institutes of Health over the past decade, after a House subcommittee heard of health officials’ efforts to “make emails disappear” and hide other documents related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mr. Marshall also wants all federal employees who violated the transparency statute to be referred to the Department of Justice for prosecution, according to his June 18 letter to Christi Grimm, inspector general at the Department of Health and Human Services.
