RFK Jr. Testifies on Recent CDC Shakeups; Washington Sues Trump Admin Over Deployment of National Guard

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testified on Thursday before the Senate Finance Committee on the recent shakeup of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Trump administration’s health agenda. The hearing was announced after the firing of CDC Director Susan Monarez and the resignations of several other top CDC officials that followed.

Washington sued the Trump administration on Thursday over the deployment of National Guard troops in the capital city. "Armed soldiers should not be policing American citizens on American soil," D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb said in an X post.
