The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention resigned Wednesday following reports that she traded in tobacco stocks despite being the nation's top public health official and heading an agency that has led U.S. anti-smoking initiatives for decades

Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald, whom President Trump tapped in the summer to head the CDC, purchased shares in Japan Tobacco International as well as stocks in a number of healthcare companies after taking office, according to a report this week by Politico.

The stock trading echoes the behavior of Trump's first Health and Human Services secretary, Tom Price, who was forced to resign last year amid questions about his frequent use of charter aircraft at taxpayer expense.

While a congressman, Price also traded extensively in healthcare companies even as he pushed legislation and took other actions that affected many of those same companies.

It is not clear whether Fitzgerald, a former OB-GYN doctor and Georgia health commissioner, took any official actions that may have affected the value of her stocks.
