Fauci's senior advisor pleaded GUILTY in federal court Tuesday — conspiracy to defraud the United States, admitting he worked to hide federal COVID records and dodge FOIA requests, straight from the DOJ's own announcement. For years they told you the origins question was a conspiracy theory. Yesterday, the man who sat beside Fauci admitted concealing the records about it. He faces up to five years, with sentencing set for November 12. (Fauci himself is not accused of wrongdoing in the case.)
Also in today's episode: a ship is struck in the Strait of Hormuz one day after the US-Iran memorandum expires. Florida's primary turnout numbers tell a story a decade of polling never did. Ukraine goes bigger — nearly 800 drones in one night. The factory numbers the evening news is not reporting. And Britain's new farming minister has a very bad moment in a cold storage room.
Six stories for 7:00 AM. The truth starts now.
