A White House official confirms that President Donald Trump will nominate Susan Monarez, the acting director of the U.S.

The White House will nominate Dr. Susan Monarez, the current acting director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to lead the agency, according to a US Department of Health and Human Services official.

Weldon was told Wednesday night that his nomination was being withdrawn, another Trump administration official said. The White House decided to pull Weldon’s nomination when it became clear that he would not have the votes to be favorably reported out of committee because of his past controversial comments about vaccines, the official said.
