5 high-level CDC officials leaving in latest turmoil for public health agency in Trump administration
CBSN
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was rocked by five high-level departures on Tuesday in the latest turmoil for the nation's top public health agency.
The departures were announced at a meeting of agency senior leaders. The Atlanta-based CDC has two dozen centers and offices the heads of five of them are stepping down, and that follows three other departures in recent weeks. This means close to a third of the agency's top management is leaving or left recently.
The departures — described as retirements — were not announced publicly. The Associated Press confirmed the news with two CDC officials who were not authorized to discuss it and spoke on condition of anonymity, and CBS News also confirmed it with the CDC.
