On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Did you ever receive a text about your work at NIAID to your personal cell phone? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Did any text about your work at NID that went to your personal cell phone ever become part of federal records? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Did you maintain a personal email account while serving as director? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.

Did you ever receive work-related communications on that Gmail account from David Marins? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Did you preserve any work-related communications on that Gmail account from David Morenz? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Did David Morenz ever provide you with documents outside of those two ways that would violate NIH policy for four-year compliance? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Now let's look at two other communications.

You emailed Dave Morantz on January 26, 2020, quote, it is important that I speak with you tonight. Please call me at home. This is part of exhibit two that you have in front of you. This email sent the same day, the exact same day you write in an internal document, quote, now we know the market was not the source. It was the amplifier, unquote. Would you call the origins of COVID-19 a substantive issue? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Did you discuss COVID-19 origins with Demeranz on this phone call? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.

Now let's take a closer look at the last time you testified before Congress. This is part of what you have in front of you is Exhibit 4, which is part of the record. In June 2024, you testified to Dr. Moran's quote, was not an advisor to me on institute policy or other substantive issues. Furthermore, his office is located in a different building from that of the NIAID director, unquote. Is that still your testimony today? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. So today under oath, your testimony remains that Dr. Moran was not an advisor to you on institute policy or substantive matters. On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.

I've got Exhibit 5, which you have in front of you. On October 24, 2021, David Moran texted you to provide information about and advocate for the controversial EcoHealth Alliance Grant. You thank him and tell him that you will check the information. Would you agree that this shows an advisory relationship between David Moran and yourself? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Would you agree that you two were discussing a substantive issue? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. If documentary evidence establishes that Dr. Moran's advise you regarding EcoHealth Alliance, COVID origins, or grant policy, then your June 2024 testimony would have been inaccurate, correct?
