Trump VA Pick Ronny Jackson Prescribed Himself Drugs, Wrecked Government Vehicle While Drunk
New details have emerged about Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson, the White House physician Trump has picked to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs, the NYT reports:
A nurse on his staff said Dr. Jackson had written himself prescriptions, and when caught, he asked a physician assistant to provide the medication. And at a Secret Service going away party, the doctor got intoxicated and “wrecked a government vehicle,” according to the summary.
The paper also reports that Jackson threw his own staff into a “panic” after supplying a “large supply” of Percocet to a military official without telling anyone.
