President Donald Trump has withdrawn his nomination of a former congressman to helm the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Dr. Dave Weldon, 71, is no longer under consideration to take the post of director of the CDC, a source familiar with the situation told The Epoch Times on March 13. The source said it was clear Weldon did not have enough votes for confirmation.
