On Thursday, the White House withdrew Thursday for the nomination of President Donald Trump to Dr. David Weldon to lead the centers for disease control and prevention, multiple sources told ABC News.
The withdrawal occurred just before Weldon appeared for his confirmation hearing on Thursday morning before the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (Help) Committee (Help) of the Senate, where he was expected to be roasted in his previous opinions by questioning the safety of vaccines.
