Ronny Jackson

Dr. Ronny Jackson, who abandoned his nomination to be VA secretary amid numerous allegations, will stay with the White House medical unit but won't be the president's physician, Politico reports.

The official says a White House investigation finds that documents refute the claim that Adm. Ronny Jackson wrecked a government car while drunk, and that he "recklessly" dispensed drug prescriptions.

Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson was tapped by President Trump to replace David Shulkin, who was fired in March. Now, the Veterans Affairs Department awaits its fourth secretary in four years.

Jackson decried "baseless and anonymous attacks on my character and integrity," following detailed accusations including improper prescribing of drugs and wrecking a government vehicle while drunk.

Detailed new allegations surfaced Wednesday against Dr. Ronny Jackson, President Trump's pick to lead the VA. The White House is defending Jackson, who wants a chance to clear his name.

The president intends to nominate Navy Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson, the White House physician, to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Dr. Ronny Jackson said the president could benefit from losing between 10 and 15 pounds over the coming year as well as beginning an exercise regimen.
