The administration is worried about the ¨“deep state” at the CDC.
Former Trump campaign official Michael Caputo arrives at the Hart Senate Office on May 1, 2018 in Washington, D.C.For decades, the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports put out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were seen as decidedly uncontroversial. Written by careers scientists the reports are a key way for the agency to transmit information to doctors, researchers and the public at large.
Caputo, a former Trump campaign official, and his allies have repeatedly tried to “add caveats” to the CDC reports, according to Politico, noting that there was a particular effort to retroactively change reports that they say exaggerated the risks of the coronavirus on the population. Caputo and his team repeatedly accused the CDC’s scientists of trying to make Trump look bad and hurt the administration.
