Pentagon watchdog officially launches investigation into White House doctor
Pentagon watchdog officially launches investigation into White House doctor
By Rebecca Kheel - 06/04/18 03:05 PM EDT
The Pentagon’s inspector general has officially launched an investigation into allegations of misconduct by former physician to the president Ronny Jackson, a spokeswoman confirmed Monday.
“What I can tell you is that the DoD Office of Inspector General has initiated an investigation into allegations related to Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Ronny L. Jackson," inspector general spokeswoman Dwrena K. Allen said in a one-sentence email.
Jackson faces a slew of allegations that he drank on the job, overprescribed medications and created a hostile work environment.
The unconfirmed accusations came to light after President Trump nominated Jackson to become secretary of Veterans Affairs.
Jackson withdrew his nomination in late April amid the allegations, which were detailed in a memo released by Senate Veterans Affairs Committee ranking member Jon Tester (D-Mont.) that was based on interviews with 20 current and former colleagues of Jackson’s.
