The top communications official at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on Sunday accused a unit of career scientists at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of plotting against President Donald Trump and advised the president’s supporters to buy ammunition ahead of the November election.

HHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Michael Caputo made the remarks in a Facebook Live video on Sunday. The New York Times was first to report on the comments. Caputo confirmed the accuracy of the quotes to The Epoch Times, but noted that they were taken out of context.
