And so was Dr. Fauci there when -- I mean, did he ask you anything specific? Was he part of the conversation at that time? Or did he just say hello and leave?

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

  1. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    So who else was there in the meeting? Fauci left after a couple of minutes.
  2. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    He left after a few minutes. I think it DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com was his second in command that was doing most of the questioning, and I can't remember his name. Again, the email should have a list of all the people that were going to be there.
  3. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    Was it Hugh Auchincloss?
  4. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    Yes. Thank you. Yes. Yes.

  6. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    No, no. I think he participated in terms of introducing, asking the question about the new virus and my thoughts about it, I guess, in terms of what I knew at the time, which wasn't a whole lot. But I knew some things.
  7. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    Okay. Do you know who Matt Freeman is?
  8. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    Yeah, I trained him, yeah.
  9. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    I'm going to read you -- again, this has been FOIA'd -- he sent, in a Slack message, and I'm just going to read it out loud. "I talked to Ralph for a long time last night. He sounds beat. His ACE2 mice are breeding up but not ready for anyone to have. He said he sat in Fauci's office talking about the outbreak," and I'm going to ask you, is it chimeras?
