Bondi says Trump will 'probably' leave after second term

Entire CDC labs studying outbreaks of sexually transmitted diseases and hepatitis were shuttered this week as part of the sweeping layoffs at the Department of Health and Human Services, two people familiar with the cuts told ABC News.

The lab studying STDs, with about 30 full-time employees and several fellows, led a high-impact program monitoring drug resistance to gonorrhea, a disease notorious for its resistance to many antibiotics, according to someone with knowledge of the lab’s work.

The lab collaborates with state and local labs across the country in its surveillance of STD outbreaks.

“The rest of this operation can’t operate without the lab,” the person familiar with the lab’s work said.

CBS News first reported the layoffs at the two labs.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told ABC News’ Cheyenne Haslett Thursday that he will reinstate some of the laid-off employees, but the people who spoke to ABC News about the STD and hepatitis labs had no indication workers at the lab would be among the reinstated.

A coalition of attorneys general from 19 states have filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s recent executive order on election administration, alleging that the order is unconstitutional.

In the suit, which names Trump and other administration members as plaintiffs, the attorneys general argue that the suit is unconstitutional because, among other reasons, it takes away the states’ rights to regulate elections themselves and “treats Plaintiff States as mere instruments of the President’s policy agenda.”

The states that are part of this suit are Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin.

The Senate on Thursday confirmed Dr. Mehmet Oz as Trump’s nominee to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services on a party line vote.

Oz, a doctor and former television host ran unsuccessfully for the Senate seat in Pennsylvania now held by Democrat John Fetterman.

In his confirmation hearing, Oz said his main goals as the head of CMS deal with more transparency and eliminating waste, echoing Trump's goals.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will visit the U.S. "maybe next week," President Donald Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Thursday.

"I spoke to him today, as a matter of fact, and I think he's going to be coming to our country sometime in the not-too-distant future, maybe next week, and we'll speak about Israel," Trump said of his conversations with Netanyahu.

Netanyahu was the first foreign leader to visit the White House in February after Trump's second inauguration.
