The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is seeking to withdraw all papers involving its researchers that are being considered for publication by external scientific journals to allow for a review by the Trump administration,

On Jan. 31, the CDC's chief science officer sent an internal email that informed the agency’s division heads that all papers written or co-written by CDC scientists are being withdrawn and that agency scientists should take their names off of papers they are collaborating on with external scientists, Reuters reported.

The review is aimed at removing language to comply with Trump’s order saying the government will only recognize two sexes.
