Thousands of people who work at the CDC were notified by email today that they were subject to the Trump administration’s efforts to cull federal workforce jobs.

Top officials were among those either put on administrative leave, laid off, or reassigned to remote roles.

HHS announced last week that it would slash its workforce by 20,000 people.

HHS says the changes will save $1.8 billion a year.
