CBS Host/Reporter (Margaret Brennan)

But that was a White House decision to lay off these individuals.

You heard the president talking about that.

That wasn't Chuck Schumer's decision.

I understand your broader point on the negotiations, but the layoffs came from the president and the White House.

If you were president, what would you do?

Why doesn't he force a deal here?

Why doesn't he tell Republicans, like the speaker, get your lawmakers back here, come into my office, let's hammer this thing out?

And specifically, when it comes to what's happening within the health sector, CBS did confirm on Saturday that the Trump administration went and rescinded some of the layoffs of hundreds of CDC scientists who were mistakenly laid off on Friday and then told Saturday that's not the case.

But some of them were involved with

the federal measles response.

Some of them were involved with the response on Ebola.

How does a mistake like this happen?

Did the White House even talk to the CDC?
