Pressuring the CDC According to a new report, multiple White House staffers spent this summer pressuring the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to relax its recommendations about restarting schools in the fall and succeeded in getting several key documents and communications edited, because Trump wanted schools reopened before the election to help his chances.
