from The Epoch Times:
Records from a top official at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are missing, the CDC’s parent agency has informed a U.S. senator.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) officials told Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) in March that “they are having difficulty locating records,” Johnson said on April 9.
More recently, HHS officials said that Dr. Tom Shimabukuro’s records “remain lost and, potentially, removed from HHS’s email system altogether,” Johnson added.

Shimabukuro, the CDC, and HHS did not respond to requests for comment by publication time.
“Furthermore, given Dr. Shimabukuro’s role at CDC, which includes monitoring adverse events relating to the COVID-19 vaccines, his communications are directly responsive to my January 28, 2025, subpoena to HHS for records relating to the development and safety of the COVID-19 vaccines. Any attempt to obstruct or interfere with my investigatory efforts would be grounds for contempt of Congress.”
The senator also said that if Shimabukuro mishandled records, he may have violated laws such as the Federal Records Act.
Johnson asked Bondi, Patel, and Hodgkins to investigate whether Shimabukuro and other officials within HHS deleted or destroyed agency records, including any attempts to avoid congressional oversight or Freedom of Information Act requests.
Spokespeople for the Department of Justice and HHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) confirmed in emails to The Epoch Times that the agencies received the letter, but they declined to comment further. The FBI declined to comment.
