Susan Monarez, the director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is being ousted from her role less than a month after the Senate confirmed her to lead the public health agency, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to CBS News.
It’s not clear why Monarez was removed from the job.
Monarez was confirmed by the Senate in a party-line vote in late July, after previously serving as the agency’s acting head starting in January.
The news was first reported by The Washington Post.
CBS News has reached out to the CDC for comment.
This is a breaking story; it will be updated.
