Donald Trump's administration is walking back about half of a reported 1,000 health agency cuts.

MSNBC senior reporter Brandy Zadrozny was on air on Saturday when she broke the news, saying she had received a call from an official from HHS "literally five minutes" prior to going on. The cuts were previously reported.

After explaining the wide-ranging cuts, she said, "However literally just five minutes ago, I got a call from an HHS official that said, oops, we didn't actually mean to do that."

"So about 50% of those people are just any moment now about to get notices that say, y'all can come back, actually," the journalist said on Saturday. "They're going to be rehired, literally."

The reversal was confirmed by Washington Post reporter Lena Sun, who said on social media, "BREAKING: Some of the layoffs at CDC are being REVERSED."
