White House doctor Ronny Jackson is now under investigation.
If you recall, this is the same man who was Obama’s doctor. Liberals didn’t decide he was a horribly irresponsible human being until after he said that he had “absolutely no concerns” about President Trump’s cognitive ability.

Libs were mad after that, but there wasn’t much they could do. However, after President Trump nominated him to serve as VA Secretary, they pounced.
Out of nowhere, allegations of misconduct popped up. The allegations revolved around fostering a “hostile work environment.” He was accused of “excessive drinking on the job” and “improperly dispensing meds.”
I had a really hard time believing that. Surely, they wouldn’t allow such a man to be the doctor to the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES for years on end.
Jackson ultimately withdrew his nomination, because it wasn’t worth the meritless beatings from the media.
“Going into this process, I expected tough questions about how to best care for our veterans, but I did not expect to have to dignify baseless and anonymous attacks on my character and integrity,” he stated at the time.
“The allegations against me are completely false and fabricated. If they had any merit, I would not have been selected, promoted and entrusted to serve in such a sensitive and important role as physician to three presidents over the past 12 years,” he continued.
“In my role as a doctor, I have tirelessly worked to provide excellent care for all my patients. In doing so, I have always adhered to the highest ethical standards,” he added. “Unfortunately, because of how Washington works, these false allegations have become a distraction for this President and the important issue we must be addressing – how we give the best care to our nation’s heroes.”
Now, here we are. Jackson is under investigation.
The inspector general for the Defense Department IG says it is conducting an investigation of White House doctor Ronny Jackson. The office’s spokesman, Bruce Anderson, said in a one-line statement, “The DoD Office of Inspector General has initiated an investigation into allegations related to Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Ronny L. Jackson.”
The case had been referred to the office, CBS News’ David Martin reports, and now the IG has decided there’s enough in the referral to warrant an investigation.
Spokesman says Defense Dept Office of Inspector General has initiated an investigation into allegations related to former Physician to the President, Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson. Jackson faced allegations of misconduct and mismanagement and withdrew his nomination to be V.A. Secy.
