Trump Kennedy NIH lawsuit Marrazzo health.

A former leading scientist at the National Institutes of Health has sued the Trump administration, saying she was illegally fired for warning that research cuts were endangering patients and public health. Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, a well-known HIV expert who had led NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, filed the complaint Tuesday alleging whistleblower retaliation. The NIH has cut billions in research projects since President Donald Trump took office, bypassing the usual funding process. Marrazzo was put on leave after challenging the cuts and was later fired.
