The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will reportedly cut one-tenth of its workforce.

Trump’s initial attempt to downsize the workforce was the deferred resignation program, commonly described as a buyout, which offered to pay people until Sept. 30 if they agreed to quit. The White House said 75,000 people signed up, and a federal judge cleared a legal roadblock for the program Wednesday.

"We're having staffing shortages at the VA already, cutting back on staff is obviously not helpful," said Rep. Bobby Scott.
