On December 6, 2023, the Department of Justice Office of Public Affairs sent a request for the removal of this article, stating that the article “fails to note that Mr. [Brian] Boynton is recused in this case precisely for reasons discussed in the piece.”
In researching the Department of Justice Civil Division’s statement of interest in the patent infringement case regarding Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine, the Revolving Door Project failed to ask the DOJ for comment on Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney Brian Boynton’s involvement in the matter. As a result, our article did not reflect the fact that Boynton did in fact recuse himself from the matter. In light of this information, the Revolving Door Project is formally retracting this article. We would like to share our sincerest apologies for not properly vetting the information shared in this article prior to its publication.
