PRESIDENT TRUMP'S MOVES to fire key figures at the Federal Reserve and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have created turmoil in the government, provoking lawsuits and threats from Congress to intervene.

The CDC was in chaos Thursday after Director Susan Monarez was fired only 27 days after she was confirmed by the Senate. Four additional CDC leaders then resigned in protest, citing the “weaponizing of public health.”

The New York Times reports that Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., told Monarez on Monday that she must resign or be fired over a difference in vaccine policy.

When Monarez refused to step down, Kennedy fired her. However, Monarez brought on a high-profile lawyer who argued that only President Trump has the power to fire her.
