Dave Weldon, the former congressman who had his nomination to head the Centers for Disease Control yanked away by the White House Wednesday, blamed “Big Pharma” for influencing two Republican senators to vote “no” on his nomination.
Weldon, 71, was slated to appear before the Senate health committee for his confirmation hearing, but 12 hours earlier, was informed he did not have enough votes to make it out of committee. The Trump team told him they were withdrawing his nomination.
