The Department of Defense Inspector General has formally launched an investigation into White House doctor Ronny Jackson.
“The DOD Office of Inspector General has initiated an investigation into allegations related to Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Ronny L. Jackson,” DOD IG spokesman Bruce Anderson said in a Tuesday email to TPM.
Jackson, who served as both former President Barack Obama’s and President Donald Trump’s personal physician, was nominated by Trump to be Secretary of Veterans Affairs in March. Soon after Jackson was named, multiple allegations surfaced from coworkers accusing him of drinking on the job, giving out prescription medications freely and creating a hostile and abusive work environment.
Jackson withdrew as the nominee in April and ceased to be Trump’s personal doctor, staying on as a general White House physician.
After his withdrawal, the accusations, pulled together in a memo by Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT), were sent to the DOD IG’s office to let officials decide whether or not to pursue the charges.

Everything Trump Touches Dies
That was my first thought
If it had of been anyone else in the White House ol’ Ronnie probably could have plodded along in anonymity even with all the indiscretions we are now hearing about
But noooooo he had to get aboard the Trumptannic probably believing that Trump would promote him and make him ever so powerful
Bad Iceberg , Bad Icberg
Jackson thought being named secretary of the VA was going to be the high point of his life. It’s turning into the low point. Not that he doesn’t, apparently, deserve it.
(Am I the only one bothered that this was the guy who was guarding President Obama’s health? Well, he and Michelle.)
Nope. One of my first thoughts.
Second thought: Will we ever get the true results of DT’s physical? Of course, “true” in this admin is a moving target.
I hope they ask him some questions under oath, such as how much does Tubby weigh and how tall is he really.
