Ronny Jackson, Trump's former physician, appointed chief medical adviser

President Trump has appointed Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson, the president's former physician who withdrew his nomination as secretary of Veterans Affairs amid controversy, to serve as assistant to the president and chief medical adviser. There is still an active Pentagon investigation into the allegations that torpedoed his nomination for the VA post.

Jackson was nominated by Mr. Trump to be VA secretary last March, and withdrew from his position as the president's physician. Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., the ranking member of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, released a two-page memo summarizing accusations of workplace misbehavior by Jackson. The allegations included drinking on the job, improperly dispensing medication and creating a hostile work environment.
