President Donald Trump announced new leadership at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, saying that he was nominating former Deputy Surgeon General Erica Schwartz as the CDC'S director.
"Erica graduated from Brown University for College and Medical School, and served a distinguished career as a Doctor of Medicine in the United States Military, the Greatest and Most Powerful Force in the World, and then served as my Deputy Surgeon General during my First Term. She is a STAR," Trump said in a post on Truth Social on April 16.
Schwartz served as the deputy surgeon general during Trump's first term. The CDC has not had a permanent director since August.
This is a developing story that will be updated.
